FUNDAMENTALS. 

A fundamental teaching of Astrology is* First know 
thyself that you may learn to give the highest expres- 
sion to celestial influences which operate through your 
organism, for the more refined the organism the more 
superior the manifestations through it. 

Students of Astrology learn to realize by means of 
research in the natal horoscope that an understanding 
of self is gained which can be reached in no other way, 
and as this conception grows it also develops an under- 
standing of our fellow beings leading not alone to broth- 
erly interest in them, but also to recognizing opportu- 
nities in which to aid and benefit them. 

And thus, from the study of self we graduate to< the 
study of the self in others, for all life is one life, and 
the kind word spoken or the helping hand given to a 
fellow creature, whether of the human or animal crea- 
tion (all members of the same family) is a kindness and 
help to the spirit encased within your own physical 
body. 

High aspirations, proper study and due preparation, 
place the student in a position to interpret Nature's 
law in a manner that is truly beneficial and enables one 
to teach in a truly serviceable capacity the way of 
attainment. Happiness in life, unity of action, health, 
and all real progress, are the consequent results. Thus, 
knowledge of self leads to knowledge of others, and all 
life is benefited to the degree of our unfoldment. In- 
ward, Onward and Upward, for All, are the words in- 



6 

delibly inscribed upon the mental banner of every true 
student of Astrology.

METABOLISM 

Webster's Dictionary: "Metabolism — The act or 
process by which living tissues or cells take up and 
convert into their own proper substance the nutritive 
material brought to them by the blood, or by which 
they transform their cell protoplasm into simpler sub- 
stances, which are fitted either for excretion or for 
some special purpose, as in the manufacture of the 
digestive ferments. Hence, metabolism may be either 
constructive (anabolism) or destructive (katabolism)." 

In Astrology metabolism or bodily processes are un- 
derstood to receive their direction from planetary vibra- 
tions, the influence of some planets and aspects being 
constructive and others destructive, both operations 
being necessary to well-being. The benign planets direct 
anabolism, or constructive process; the malign planets 
and aspects affecting katabolism, or destructive process. 

For instance, Saturn is commonly symbolized as the 
'Reaper" — an old man bearing a scythe — usually thought 
to indicate death, but in reality signifying the demise, 
decay and dissolution of old worn-out tissue which must 
be excreted. In this we see that the office of Saturn is 
just as beneficial as that of any planet; without the 
influence of Saturn the human system would soon be- 
come congested with non-functioning matter.

ASTRO-METABOLISM 

The human body possesses innumerable sensory- 
nerves, each of which has an "end-organ," whose office 
is to receive stimulus from without, transmit the vibra- 
tion to "nerve centers," where in turn it is forwarded 
by means of the "sympathetic system" to those organs 
(and particularly to the brain organ) which are respon- 
sive to particular incoming stimulus, causing chemical 
changes to take place which give rise to sensation; 
sensation produces thoughts in kind; thoughts deter- 
mine acts; acts determine environment. 

Before one is conscious of a sensation a chemical 
change has taken place, a stimulating vibration has been 
received which gave the chemical situation an urge 
and a direction, according to the character of the vibra- 
tion. The vibrations of Mars are positive, exciting, in- 
flammatory; those of Venus are soothing, pacifying, 
cheering. The vibrations of each planet having their own 
particular influence. 

The working of the mind (the thoughts) is mostly 
the result of internal changes due to external causes 
and particularly due to Solar, Lunar and Planetary 
vibrations. 

One of the greatest of modern-day scientists has said : 
"Life is a constant internal adjustment to external en- 
vironment." A careful study of planetary influences 
as indicated by Astrology, proves that ponderous state- 
ment a fact. A careful investigation will soon show that 
what takes place in the Solar system has a correspond- 



#**^^****««««***«****«*****^******* 



ing effect in the human system. 

Planetary conditions at the moment of the first breath 
of an individual "cast" the form with certain vibratory 
tendencies, and whenever like planetary aspects occur 
the organs in that individual give response, the man- 
ifestations of which we know as their characteristics 
or their personality. 

A chart of the heavens at birth will give an ex- 
perienced Astrological student an insight to the char- 
acteristics or tendencies of an individual. The student's 
knowledge of planetary motions, situations and aspects 
enables him to foresee when like planetary conditions 
will reoccur which will set into activity or manifestation 
those inherent tendencies. 

Aspects of Jupiter at certain times are conducive to 
growth and expansion, hence we see the individual at 
those times, generous, magnanimous and successfully 
undertaking larger responsibilities. At other times, 
under different aspects to that planet, we see him 
profligate, extravagant, irresponsible and untrustworthy. 
The fact is, Jupiter vibrates the liver and the faculties 
of calculation and comparison; when Jupiter is well 
aspected it gives vibrations which produce orderly 
functioning of the liver and of the mind in that the 
individual feels normal internally and manifests it out- 
wardly as rectitude and business acumen. When Jupiter 
is adversely aspected certain unfavorable chemical con- 
ditions affeel the functioning of the Liver and tin 4 organs 
of calculation in the brain, with the result that he mis- 



9 — 

judges and makes erroneous decisions and futile at- 
tempts; failing to succeed from his own vain efforts he 
may be tempted to decamp with the cash of the bank 
or the funds of an employer. 

And so the student sees in the birth chart, in the re- 
curring planetary positions, and in the acts of an indi- 
vidual, correspondences which inspire him to further 
research until at last he is enabled to utilize the knowl- 
edge gleaned in the every-day affairs of life. Knowing 
something of the nature of planetary laws, he aims to 
work in conscious harmony with auspicious indications 
and to transmute, by aspiring effort of will, those ten- 
dencies which, if followed heedlessly, would lead to 
distress. 

The wonders of Astrology have not half been revealed 
— great fields of inquiry yet remain unexplored to try 
the mettle of aspiring minds. But in the thousands of 
years that Astrology has existed, studied by many of 
the greatest men known to history, a vast storehouse of 
information has accumulated and is ready for the use 
of those who are advanced sufficiently to realize that 
"The heavens (solar system) declare the glory of God," 
and who are ready to partake of the glory in the joy 
which is the reward of enlightenment

"INITIATION" 

No Astrologer, worthy of the name, believes that be- 
cause malign aspects prevail some days you must be 
"bad" along with the day. 

Adverse aspects suggest caution and deliberation 
and that we bring to the fore our powers of poise from 
the hidden depths of the treasure-house within. 

"Know ye not that ye are gods?" Possessors of di- 
vine attributes and powers — powers of strength await- 
ing only to be liberated. 

Down with the false portals of fear and limitations; 
arise, from the fallen ruinsi of fears, arise to the 
majesty of your super-self, to the glory of your strength, 
courage and faith in the "kingdom of HEAVEN which 
dwells WITHIN. 

Adverse aspects are cross-examinations^ tests of 
your knowledge, your strength, your faith, and each of 
these examinations that you PASS entitles and fits you 
for finer opportunities of utilizing your abilities. 

Greater achievements than you ever dared dream of 
are in store for you when you learn to assert your 
power over strife and discontent, when you learn to 
release the floods of sunshine in your soul and laugh 
discordant obstacles out of existence. Astrology points 
the way. Watch the daily astrological indications and 
act accordingly. 

You are a complete universe within yourself and can 
at will manifest the most potent powers of love, health 



11 

health and attainment. These but await your belief — 
your faith in your ability to overcome, all undesirable 
elements and conquer the world within; transmute 
every unlovely trait and tendency into loveliness and 
"all things shall be added unto you." 

Whenever you see the word "adverse," malefic or 
malign, remember their true meaning and purpose, as 
here astrogically explained and make them act as 
promptors to stir you on to victory within. 

The object of our publications is to help all transcend 
old limitations and evolve into new manifestations of 
harmony and progress.

PREDICTIONS VERIFIED. 

In the Astrological Bulletina for May mention was 
made of the solar eclipse occurring on April 28th, 1911, 
in the 7th degree of Taurus, which, among other things, 
"afflicts cattle," and in connection with this item the 
following newspaper clipping is interesting, as it veri- 
fies the before mentioned planetary indications and in- 
fluence: 

"100 HORSES ARE DEAD. 



'WALKING DISEASE' KILLS WALLA WALLA 
ANIMALS. 



"Cause and Cure of Dread Affliction Are Unknown and 
Sufferer Walks Until It Dies. 



"WALLA WALLA, Wash., May 26.— (Special.)— The 
dread 'walking disease' has again struck the Walla 



12 

Walla Valley and it is estimated that 100 horses have 
died from its effects. No horses stricken have been 
known to recoveY. The cause of the disease is unknown 
and no cure has been discovered. 

"The symptoms are walking. The horse will walk 
over anything, anywhere and, in the last stages of blind- 
ness and madness, will walk into a fence, barn or any 
other obstruction, the only desire of the animal seems 
to be to walk. Sometimes the horses live only a night, 
as was the experience of H. H. Hungate, a large ranch- 
er. A. P. Pierson's horses lasted longer and most of the 
animals stricken live from a week to two weeks, walk- 
ing at every opportunity, suffering terribly. Farmers 
are now shooting horses showing first signs of the dis- 
ease, in order to stamp it out and save suffering." — 
(Oregonian.) 



Subscribers who are accustomed to reading the Astro- 
logical Bulletina chapter each month entitled "Astrolog- 
ical Influence of the New Moon" and who also keep 
astride of the times through the daily press have no- 
ticed how correctly Astrology predicts coming events. 
For instance, in the June issue, No. 32, page 103, earth- 
quakes are announced about the 1st and 8th of June; 
these occurred with great loss of life in the far East on 
June 1st, in Mexico on June 7th, and in Venezuela on 
the 8th. 

Regarding the election: As stated an unusually heavy 
vote was cast, and, contrary to general expectancy, the 
open-town element won, as astrologically predicted. 



13 

Referring to postal activity: 1000 postal savings banks 
were decided upon and movement begun toward their 
establishment. § 

Concerning amusements: The Rose Festival in Port- 
land, June 5th to 10th, was declared a stupendous suc- 
cess by all who were fortunate enough to be present; a 
genuine carnival spirit prevailed. 

The death rate was high and among those who passed 
who held great public esteem and high position were 
Judge Sears and General Mills. 

And so on, the other indications became verified in 
ways too numerous to mention, and indeed, the only ob- 
ject in speaking of this at all is to show that Astrology 
DOES point the way. 

* * * 

ASPECTS AFFECT CERTAIN PLACES 

A subscriber asks "why do the effects of planetary 
aspects seem to strike some places more than others?" 

It is because some places have influences that coin- 
cide with the nature of the aspect and others do not. 

Each country, city or village has its own horoscope, 
much the same as human living beings have, and the 
various lunations, eclipses and other celestial phenom- 
ena have an effect on those horoscopes which are sus- 
ceptible of influence because of similarity of planetary 
positions or aspects therein. 

If the horoscope of a place could be ascertained it 



14 

would be of incalculable value to the inhabitants there- 
of, because from it could be foretold all the important 
conditions relating to its welfare or otherwise and great 
advantages be derived for the benefit of the people by 
the knowledge possible. 

Another of the many advantages of such horoscopes 
would be that individuals comparing their own natal 
charts with the charts of cities could choose the best 
places to reside; if sick, they could choose a place 
where they would soonest recover health; if poor, where 
they could best accumulate money; if friendless, where 
they would meet congenial associates, etc., and in many 
other ways improve their conditions physically, men- 
tally or spiritually. 

It is not impossible to obtain such mundane charts 
l)ii t it is difficult under the present condition of Astrol- 
ogy. What the science needs is a school well endowed 
financially so that such practical researches may be 
made in a highly scientific manner. Suitable, grounds 
are necessary for the proper cultivation of seeds and 
medicinal herbs under planetary influence; suitable in- 
struments are needed for the instruction of the public 
as to the motion of planets; libraries are necessary for 
research into cause of past events in connection with 
the planetary positions so that proper tabulations may 
be made for future benefit to individuals and to business 
interests; printing plants thoroughly equipped are nec- 
essary for the promulgation of astrological information 
for general public distribution; a press bureau is desir- 
able as well as numerous highly proficient computers 
and compilers. 



15 

When Astrology has some of the assistance and sup- 
port given it that other educational institutions enjoy 
it will startle the world with its wonderful truths and 
practical utilities. 

* * * 

ZODIAC INFLUENCE. 

We are nearly all accustomed to thinking of but one 
zodiac, but in reality there are two of them — one in the 
heavens and one in the body of each person, and this 
fact is what puts truth in the familiar saying, "As above, 
so below," for vibratory aspects caused by configura- 
tions among planets in the heavenly zodiac cause like 
vibrations in the zodiac below, i. e., in that of the body. 

The influence of planetary conditions in the ambient 
produces chemical changes in the body, which in turn 
produce feeling; feelings cause thinking; thoughts 
cause action; actions determine environment. 

The aura of a spiritually developed person is less 
dense than that of one who is not so enlightened, and 
they therefore sense more and finer vibrations, have 
keener feelings, and by the more refined thoughts pro* 
duce better quality in actions. 

No matter how lowly or unfavorably one may have 
been born, there is a possibility of great improvement 
by learning to properly interpret sensation, refining the 
feelings, elevation of thoughts and control of the acts. 
Astrology points the way! Watch well the aspects and 
be prepared to act according to your wisdom. When 
in doubt, choose that which will produce most harmony. 



■ 16 

PLANETARY INFLUENCES. 

John Gadbury, author of "The Doctrine of Nativities." 
1658, in chapter VIII says: "I shall not here take no- 
tice of any poetical fictions concerning the names of the 
seven planets or their governments and rules, such as 
Saturn's reigning in the Golden Age, when the Earth 
brought forth without tillage, etc., or of Jupiter being 
the son of Saturn, who, because his father would have 
devoured him, expelled him from his kingdom and gave 
rule of hell to Pluto, rule of water to Neptune (Posi 
don), and took Heaven and Earth to himself; or how 
that Mars was produced of Juno without the concourse 
of royal Jupiter, and so, being the son of Discontent, 
Was called the God of War; of Venus being the Goddess 
of Love and Beauty; Mercury the God of Eloquence and 
messenger in chief to all the other gods. I say that 1 
shall not take notice of such, they being but witty in- 
ventions of aspiring pates, and carry a far greater glow 
of rhetoric than reason in them. Therefore, neglecting 
fictitious flourishes, I shall present you with the true 
qualities, natures, significations, shapes and description 
of the seven planets as by experience and certain ob- 
servations they have been found and so transmitted to 
us by the best artists." 

And looking forward 250 years to our present time it 
seems ridiculous that in many of our public schools the 
time and energy of children is wasted on lessons in 
mythology simply to familiarize them with so-called 
"classic literature," although a study of such in the 
light of understanding of Astrology would reveal a great 
deal of wisdom otherwise totally obscure. 



17 

ANCIENT SEERS. 

It was well known among the ancients that Astrolo- 
gers were seers, and, even in this day and time, stu- 
dents find that a study of Astrology develops the occult 
faculties, such as prophecy, intuition, clairvoyance, tel- 
epathy, healing power, etc. 

That the ancient seers were possessors of psychic at- 
tainments of a fine order may be noted by the fact that 
they termed the planet Saturn "Superiorum Altissimus," 
the highest of all the seven, meaning that its vibrations 
were the more ponderous, and, as they did not term the 
Sun and Moon as planets, the seven includes Uranus 
and Neptune. 

Now this designation is remarkable when we consider 
that they had no mighty telescopes with which to make 
occular comparisons, and Jupiter, to the naked eye, is 
superior in size, brilliancy and splendor to Saturn which 
appears much smaller, and of pale, leaden, insignificant 
color. 

But the seers of old were not deceived by outward ap- 
pearances and by means of psychic sight, perception 
and great observation they correctly determined Sat- 
urn's true status and recorded their knowledge symbol- 
ically, herioglyphically and otherwise, so that posterity 
might have the advantage and use of the facts. And to 
realize how conclusive were the facts thus gained it is 
but necessary for us to know that with all our great 
modern mechanical inventions and scientific instru- 
ments and scholastic achievements we have not found 
the ancients in error, but instead modern day observa- 
tions substantiate those of the ancients and prove that 



_ 18 

they were correct with regard to the planet's size, 
speed, color, influence and many other matters of de- 
tail. 

* * * 

ASTROLOGY THE SOLVENT. 

We believe that the science of Astrology will solve 
the riddles or difficulties in life that we as inhabitants 
of Terra are required to meet. 

As we feel, so we think; as we think, so we act; the 
cause is planetary influence. We feel strong or we feel 
weak; brave or fearful; ambitious or content, and we 
act accordingly, with results corresponding to the na- 
ture, influence and time of the act. The quality of re- 
sults can be improved by knowing the best times to act, 
just as the farmer produces best results by planting 
at proper seasons. 

A comparative study of Astrology and of self will open 
the vision to wisdom in thought and action despite, or 
in keeping, with the feelings. 

Of course, there are many surprising events which 
occur in our lives due to no apparent effort of our own 
and a study of our natal chart will tell the nature of 
these, whether favorable or otherwise, and the pro- 
gressed chart designates the period of their occurrence. 

* ¥ ¥ 
MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE. 

The newspapers declare that juvenile crime is in- 
creasing because of easy divorces. 



19 ____^ 

If juvenile crime is increasing it is because of easy 
marriage. 

Were it the duty of the clerk who issues marriage 
licenses to decide whether or not applicants should be 
granted permission to wed according to the favorable 
or unfavorable testimonies in their horoscopes, there 
would be fewer unhappy marriages, fewer divorces and 
fewer children born with criminal tendencies. Success- 
ful and fruitful marriages would be the common order 
and the progeny Nature's noblemen. 

• * * 

NAMING CHILDREN. 

Prospective parents should have a name ready to give 
their new born and the name should be spoken to the 
child as it breathes in its first breath. 

Any formal function connected afterward with the 
naming, such as christening, should be performed on a 
day carefully selected for its favorable planetary as- 
pects and the ceremony conducted in a beneficent plan- 
etary hour. 

As sex can be predetermined by Astrology, there is 
no diffculty in choosing an appropriate name in advance 
of birth. When it is desired to give a family name to 
the child, sentimental reasons should be ignored and 
one chosen from a person who possesses very excellent 
qualities, such as good health, a happy, kind disposi- 
tion, brilliant intellect, etc. 

Each letter of the alphabet has its own quality and 
in a word selected should be a fortunate figure, in nu- 



20 

merical value and this should also be considered when 
choosing a name. The sum total of the letters in accord- 
ance with the science of numbers.

NATURE. 

Are railroad accidents subject to a periodic law? A 
few years ago they became so common that it was 
highly dangerous to enter a train. Then there was an 
interval of comparative safety and now we hear of acci- 
dents everywhere once more. What Mendelexieff will 
reveal to us the law which governs these recurrent 
calamities and thus make possible a remedy? — The 
Oregonian, July 16, 1911. 

All events that transpire are the effect of Natural 
Law. The causes proceed from planetary influences of 
which Astrology is the interpreter, and a proper study 
of this science will do much to reveal the workings of 
the causes to the extent that in the course of time, as 
the human family develops its latent powers, the effects 
will be diverted from destruction to construction, igno- 
rant subjection will become intelligent direction. Astrol- 
ogy points the way.

IMPORTANT INGRESS AND LUNATJON. 

FEBRUARY 17, 1912. 
Marking the Actual Birth of the New Age. 

To the uninitiated it means nothing unusual, but to 

the occult student it is an event of tremendous import. 

On this date the planet Uranus returns to its ruling 



__^___ 21 

sign, Aquarius, and enters it for the first time in about 
84 years, and, as- the Sun, by movement of "preces- 
sion," has also just entered that constellation, this 
marks the real birth of the Aquarian age! 

A notable coincident tending to make this a day 
of great import is the fact that the Moon, by its 
monthly transit, will be in the sign Aquarius, and the 
Sun, by its apparent yearly transit, will also be in this 
sign, and the two luminaries will be in conjunction. 
This is the day of "new moon/' and the Chinese "New 
Year," and the celebration among the "Celestials" will 
continue over a period of from a week to ten days, 
starting with that day. Business among the Chinese 
will be practically suspended during the celebration, 
even the laborers dropping their work to enjoy the 
series of fetes which will be held at the different Chi- 
nese mercantile stores and other habitations. 

It would seem, therefore, that their "new year," fall- 
ing on a day of a great new world cycle, portends that 
China is destined to become the most free, liberal and 
advanced race on the earth during the reign of Uranus 
in the next 2160 years. "The first shall be last and the 
last shall be first." Verily, it looks as though the 
"heathen" Chinese will have his inning! 

Adepts the world over Will consecrate this day to 
the influx of Uranian vibrations, and henceforth let no 
Astrologer straggle behind in the march of progress 
by again calling Saturn the ruler ol Aquarius, for 
Uranus has come into his own and will prove his 



22 

claim to the rights and title of ruler of this sign by 
his works hereafter! 

This date marks the beginning of a new cycle such 
as has not occurred for about 25,000 years. 

Another noticeable sidereal incident is that Venus 
is the next planet to enter into this sign about a week 
after the lunation. 

Aquarius is symbolized as a man emptying a water 
ewer and Venus' entry at this time (being also wel- 
comed by a trine of the Moon), is portentious that in 
the new age woman will play an important part in the 
march of progress. She will attain a position of busi- 
ness and political equality and will also insert a refin- 
ing and beautifying influence into the affairs of domes- 
tic and political economy. She will have much to do 
in the elevation of art and( promotion of public morals.

THE VALUE OF ASTROLOGY 

Lies In Its Ability To Aid In Developing the Latent 

Talents Embodied In Every Individual. 

"Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven and its right- 
eousness and all these things shall be added unto 
you/' 

Properly interpreted, this means seek right-us-ness, 
not necessarily religiousness, but to do things rightly, 
that is, do everything at a harmonious rate of vibra- 
tion so that the doing of it brings satisfaction or con- 
tent; do things at a Right Time so that the results 



23 

will be most fruitful, and all things shall be added 
unto you in proportion to your rightness. Heaven 
is harmony; "The kingdom of heaven is within" when 
harmony is wijthin. 

All things added means that which makes for our 
unfoldment, our development, our enlightenment, our 
happiness and our well-being, for it is these things 
added together which makes the sum total of a suc- 
cessful life. 

To seek the chimera of riches first is likely to lead 
one to miss the golden opportunities which are the re- 
ward of merit exercised in legitimate channels. Fi- 
nancial wealth is temporal but the reward of endeavor 
rightly directed is spiritual wealth and is an asset of 
everlasting value. 

Therefore, seek first to utilize to the highest extent 
the talents with which you are endowed. Learn to ex- 
press right-us-ly the kingdom of heaven within and 
fruitful will be the results of your efforts; you will 
gather the harvest every day and will have bounty 
enough to give liberally to any fellow being who may 
need temporary assistance to regain equilibrium lost 
by failure to recognize or understand THE LAW. And 
it is to these ends that Astrology points the way. 
Seek and ye SHALL find. 

* * * 

REVOLUTIONS. 

The annual revolution is based upon a chart made 
for the exact time that the Sun in ephemeris for cur- 



24 

rent year returns to identically the same degree and 
minute of longitude it occupied at birth. The testi- 
monies by position and aspects of planets among 
themselves in such a chart, as well as their relation 
or aspects to radical planets, etc., indicate the gen- 
eral conditions for the year to follow. 

The lunar revolution, as above, is based upon the 
Moon's return to its exact radical place monthly. 

The daily revolution is based upon the time of the 
radical ascending sign and degree returning to be the 
ascendant and the testimonies thereof indicate the 
general trend of affairs for the following twenty-four 
hours. All such testimonies as those derived from 
these three charts must coincide with indications in 
the nativity, otherwise they must be rejected or ig- 
nored, for nothing must be predicted from them that 
is not promised by evidence in the nativity. 

* * • 
PROFECTION. 

Protection is a moving, proceeding or going forward, 
and in the Doctrine of Nativities signifies a regular 
and orderly change of the planets from one sign to an- 
other; and of the cusps of houses (in your nativity) 
out of one sign into another, according to the succes 
sion of signs. In nativities it is threefold, viz., annual, 
mensurnal and diurnal, i. e., yearly, monthly and daily. 

The annual protection was by adding one whole sign 
for each year to your radical ascendant, using exactly 



25 

the same degree and minute always, as at birth. 

The mensurnal protection is made by adding one 
sign per month to the ascendant at birth. 

In the daily protection, each sign succeeding that of 
the radix is held to continue for the ascendant pro- 
fectional after birth two days, three hours and fifty- 
four minutes. 

This method of prediction has fallen into desuetude 
and has given way to the more modern methods of 
progressing a horoscope; nevertheless it remains still 
interesting for investigation by students of inquiring 
mind, as much of truth will be found therein.

A TRUE FANTASY. 

Observers of the starry realm are often brought to 
think that the heavenly orbs are working stupendous 
schemes which sometimes unite them to produce a 
common end or casts them into seeming conflict, while 
at other times they appear in playful, tricky moods to 
the delight of onlookers. 

Only last night (April 14, 1911) while spying on these 
"sparks of the sky" and listening with ear clairaudient, 
I heard Jupiter speak in tones meant to be gentle and 
loving, yet really with the roar of thunder: "Oh, beau- 
tiful Luna, it is indeed with joy that I again behold 
your lovely face. Come, come to my arms that I may 
suitably embrace the mistress of the earthly sphere. 
Pull twenty-eight days have passed since last you came 



26 

and brightened us with your smile. Look, child, being 
retrograde, I hasten to meet you! Hurry; let us pro- 
ceed to zodiacal conjunction, for the night is far spent 
and there is much to do." 

Then in sweet, silvery tones gentle Luna replied: 
"Great Jove, I come with cosmic speed, but I am slow 
in motion this eve. (When going more than 13 de- 
grees, 10 minutes, 36 seconds she is swift in motion.) 
Your jovial voice thrills me with mystic delight, and 
from your ponderous vibrations, I gather fruitful in- 
spiration, which I will gladly bestow on Terra (the 
earth) when next I am in Perigee, for am I not his 
only satellite?" 

"Truly said, little one, but while I disport eight 
moons, none are so great as you. Listen; we are in 
the mansion of the Scorpion, a delighter in moisture. 
Thou, being cold and moist in nature, I, warm and 
moist, should easily gather the elements from here- 
abouts and drop them on Terra while yet he sleeps. 
'Twill be a frolic of the planets!" 

"A most delightful pastime, oh mighty Jupiter, and 
I join with glee." 

And then was heard the sweet music of the spheres, 
the atmosphere began to expand, the air grew heavier 
and heavier with moisture until, overburdened, it gent- 
ly spread upon the earth and sprayed the surface 
generously, not as rain, but exquisite dew. 

But hark! discordant against melody a chilling voice 
is heard; 'tis a sound from envious Saturn muttering 



27 

deeply to himself, "Such foolish capers are not to ray 
liking. Diana is a lunatic, and Jove, well, he seems 
drunk with infatuation. Think they that I stand idly 
in the sky? I, too, have magic and will pit it against 
them to frustrate! the gleeful plans. I will bow their 
knees in sorrow and fill their breasts with dismay. 

"Here, underling," he cried, for he bore no great love 
to Mercury, who perchanee was traveling nigh, and 
who, being in the sign of Luna's exaltation (Taurus), 
was looking intently across at the "lesser light" and 
the "greater fortune," watching their actions with 
considerable interest, if not with pleasure, for he is a 
friend to both, but at Saturn's terrifying command he 
came to himself with a start, for Mercury's nature is 
neutral and must lend power to whom it is nearest in 
the sky, and, being also quite diplomatic, he answered 
very blithly, "Aye, aye, sir, I am at your command, oh 
Prince of Darkness." 

"Knowest thou that we are in zodiac opposition to 
yonder mawks?" he said, pointing disdainfully at the 
planets in Scorpio, while Mercury shook his head in 
vigorous assent, for no such knowledge ever escaped 
his perceptive mind. 

"Besides," continued Saturn, "you are in your own 
'terms,' semi-sextile to one of your mansions- (Gemini) 
and trine to Virgo, the other, while I in this sign am 
in one of a nature like my own (earthly), and also 
trine to my own domain, Capricorn; therefore our joint 
forces are most powerful, so pay you heed to my de- 
signs and go forth as messenger of the gods and voice 



28 

my commands to all active elements near the Earth, 
thusly, 'Saturn bids you grasp the falling dew, cool it, 
crystallize it and turn it to frost.' " And with a 
satanic smile he dismissed Mercury and settled back 
to watch the results of his dark plot. 

The messenger performed his work speedily and 
well, and soon the earth was covered with a mantle 
of white like unto snow. " 

And Terra, in sleep, trundled on, for he had many 
miles yet to turn on his axis before completing his 
prescribed revolution of 25,000 miles in 24 hours, and 
to travel 18% miles in orbit per second also and keep 
things cool at the poles is no small feat either asleep 
or awake. 

But soon the Sun, lord of day and ruler of this 
planetary system, began making an appearance at the 
eastern horizon, and, glancing quickly around the sky 
and over the earth, he commenced to smile, and smile, 
and smile, and then he smiled again. "How well they 
have each performed their work," he beamed, "and 
to make it all the more beneficent I will embue it with 
life." And straightway the frost began to move and 
change and descend down into the ground where 
eager worms and little bugs drank their fill, while 
flowers and trees partook their share and all proceed- 
ed to manifest their thanks in their own various ways, 
for it was Spring and all was well.

THE INFLUENCE OF COMETS. 

A Record of Occurances Covering a Period from the 

Year A. D. 14 Down To the World War, 

Attributed To Comets. 

A. D. 14 — A comet preceded the death of Augustus, 
the first emperor of Rome. Earthquake in Italy. 

55 — Suicide of Pontius Pilate, the judge who con- 
demned Christ. 

68 — Halley's comet. Suicide of Nero, persecutor of 
Christians. Siege of Jerusalem. 

73 — A comet shone 180 days over Cypress. Earth- 
quake in Cypress, in which 10,000 persons perished. 

79 — Death of Emperor Vespasian, who began the 
siege of Jerusalem. The Roman historians, Dion Cas- 
sius and Suetonius, relate that Vespasian, when taken 
sick, heard his astrologers discussing in a low tone of 
voice the comet, which was then visible, which, they 
said, predicted his death. The emperor roused angrily 
and said: "This hairy star is not meant for me. It 
must be meant for my enemy, the king of the Parthians, 
for he is hairy, while I am bald." On the following 
night Vespasian died in great pain, and the comet was 
seen no more. Shortly after Vespasian's death follow- 
ed the fierce eruption of Mount Vesuvius, November 1, 
which destroyed the two flourishing cities of Hercul- 
aneum and Pompeii. 

1002 — A comet over England and Scandinavia. Mas- 
sacre of all Danes in England by King Ethelred. 



30 

1066 — Halley's comet. It appeared in May at Easter 
time and shone for 40 nights, waxing and waning with 
the moon. William the Conqueror haled it as an omen 
of destruction to Harold of England just before the 
battle of Hastings. 

1148-9 — Second crusade. Utter destruction of whole 
army of French and German crusaders. 

1200 — Comet recorded by Hal Ben Rodoan, an Aral) 
astronomer, over North Africa. Bloody revolt of Arab 
warriors in Morocco. 

1212 — Lance-shaped comet shining over western Eu- 
rope for 18 nights. The children's crusade. Thou- 
sands of German and French boy crusaders perished 
or were sold into slavery. Bloody invasion of Tartar 
hordes into Russia and Poland. 

1223— Preaching of fifth crusade. Outbreak of "Guelph 
and Ghibelline" war between Emperor Frederick II of 
Germany and Pope Gregory IX. 

1264 — Very bright comet observed shining all over 
Europe for three months. Pope Urban IV died on the 
night of the comet's disappearance. 

1298 — Because of the appearance of a comet over 
middle Germany there were riots in Nuremberg and 
other neighboring cities, followed by a general mas- 
sacre of the Jews in those cities. 

1300 — A brilliant preceded the jubliee of Pope Boni- 
face VIII. The pope interpreted the comet as a happy 
omen, but because of the popular dread of the comet 



31 

there were riots and bloodshed in Rome and elsewhere 
in Italy. The chroniclers of the times pointed out the 
significant fact that shortly after his jubilee Pope Boni- 
face was made a prisoner by King Philip of France, 
causing him to die of rage. 

1305 — A comet "of horrible aspect" burning all 
through passion week preceded the outbreak of the 
terrible black plague which swept from the orient all 
over Europe and Asia. 

1333 — Chinese and Arab astronomers record a bright 
comet over China, Turkestan and Persia. Birth of 
Tamerlane, the "scourage of the "nations," at Samar- 
kand, in Turkestan. 

1347 — A comet precedes the "black death," a terrible 
pestilence, followed by famine all over the world. One- 
fourth of all the people of Europe died. Fifteen million 
deaths in China — twenty-five million in Europe. 

1363 — A comet of immense size shone for three 
months over northern Europe. Pestilence and famine 
in England, Poland and Russia. 

1811-12 — This huge comet was one of the most fam- 
ous of modern times. It was first seen in France on 
March 26, 1811, and was last observed over southern 
Russia on August 17, 1812 — an appearance of 17 
months, the longest on record. For a while it had two 
tails, then only one. The length of this tail was esti- 
mated as 100,000,000 miles. It was called "Napoleon's 
comet." Under its luster Napoleon gathered his "grand 
armee," the greatest army assembled in Europe since 



32 

Xerxes, and invaded Russia. Wars were fought at the 
same time in Portugal and Spain, where the British 
stormed Ciudad Rodrigo and Badajos; and in America, 
where Harrison's victory over the Indians under Tecum- 
seh at Tippecanoe, and the sea-fight between the Pre- 
sident and Little Belt ushered in the war of 1812. In 
Egypt the comet was taken as an omen of the bloody 
massacre of the Mamelukes perpetrated at Cairo. 

1821 — "Napoleon's comet." Seen one night only over 
France and over St. Helena the night before the death 
ot Napoleon at St. Helena. 

1835-6 — Halley's comet. Immediately after the com- 
et became generally visible in the old world the bubon- 
ic plague, known of old as the "black death," broke out 
in Egypt. In the city of Alexandria alone 9,000 people 
died in one day. By the Moslems this calamity was 
generally attributed to the evil influence of the comet. 

In America the comet became visible to the naked 
eye only late in the year. Then, on its approach to 
the sun, it was lost to view and passed over to the 
southern hemisphere, where is was next observed by 
Sir John Herschel in South Africa. 

Shortly after its brief blaze over North America the 
great "New York fire" laid waste the entire business 
section of the biggest city in the new world. All the 
commercial centers of the city, including the richest 
firms and largest commercial warehouses, were laid in 
ashes. The fire raged through days and nights. In all. 
530 houses burned down and $18,000,000 of property was 
consumed. Owing to the intense cold, the sufferings of 
the homeless were pitiable. 



33 

In Florida, at the same time, Osceola, the chieftain 
of the Seminole Indians, called upon the comet as a 
signal for war against the whites. The Indians called 
the comet "Big Knife in the Sky." 

The war began with a bloody massacre of American 
soldiers under General Wiley Thompson at Fort King. 
All were slaughtered. Osceola scalped General Thomp- 
son with his own hands. On the same day Major Dade 
of the United States aj*my, who was leading a relief 
expedition into Florida from Tampa Bay, was ambushed 
by the Indians near Wahoo Swamp and massacred 
with his men. Of the whole expedition only four men 
escaped death. 

With the passing of the comet to the southern hem- 
isphere bloody wars broke out one after another in 
Mexico, Cuba, Central America, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru 
and Argentina. All those countries were in a welter 
of blood. 

At the same time the American settlers of Texas 
declared themselves independent and made open war 
on Mexico. The war began with the battle of Gonzales, 
in which 500 American frontiermen fought and de- 
feated over a thousand Mexican soldiers. This was 
followed by other fierce fights at Goliad and Bexar. 

Next came the bloody massacre of the Alamo, when 
all of Bowie's and Crokett's American followers were 
killed in an all-night fight. Out of 200 Americans every 
man fell at his post. This was the deed of blood on 
which Joaquin Miller wrote his stirring "Ballad of the 
Alamo." 



34— 

One month before the final disappearance of the 
comet the Texas war came to an end with the bloody 
battle of San Jacinto, when Sam Houston, with 800 
American frontiermen, defeated 1500 Mexicans and 
made a prisoner of President Santa Ana of Mexico. 

When the comet had passed to the southern hemi- 
sphere it was seen at its brightest in South Africa. 
The pious Boers of Cape Colony understood it to be a 
sign from heaven and forthwith set out on their great 
trek across the Orange and Vaal Rivers, where they 
founded the Orange Free State and Transvaal repub- 
lic. 

Thus the comet was the signal for the first blood 
drawn in the long fight between the British and Boers. 

1843 — Another famous comet seen all over the world 
during the spring of that year. Especially brilliant in 
the southern hemisphere and in India. War in India 
on the part of the British against Afghanistan, Belu- 
chistan, Scinde and against the Sikhs. 

1848 — Encke's famous periodic comet. Bloody re- 
volutionary risings and civil wars in France, Hungary, 
Bohemia, Austria, Germany, Italy and Poland. 

1858-59 — Donati's comet. This comet, which appeared 
to be charging straight down from the zenith and had 
a curved tail, was observed from June, 1858, to April, 
1859. It was seen at its brightest in the south, in 
Italy, Mexico and in the far east. While it shone over 
the far east there were bloody wars between the Brit- 
ish and the risen people of India; between the British 
and the Chinese, who objected tc having opium thrust 



35 



upon them; while Japan was in the throes of revolu- 
toin and civil war. In Mexico the standard of revolt 
against the clericals was raised by Juarez, thus plung- 
ing Mexico into civil war and war with France. Im- 
mediately after the disappearance of the comet war 
broke out in Italy between the French and Italians on 
one side and the Austrians on the other, ending in the 
bloody battle of Solferino. 

1861 — "First civil war comet." The brightest comet 
of the 19th century. Sir John Herschel, the English 
astronomer, said of this comet: "It far exceeded in 
brightness any I have before observed, those of 1811 
and the recent splendid one of 1858 not excepted." 

The comet was first seen by a layman and appeared 
at its brightest during the summer months in North 
America. Its coming was heralded as meaning a great 
civil war. 

1862 — "Second civil war comet.'' Another comet of 
very peculiar appearance, with jets of flame flaring 
from its head, showed itself during the summer months 
in North America. The civil war was then at its 
height. The coming of the comet was taken to herald 
the bloody battles of Shiloh, Williamsburg, Seven Days, 
Seven Pines, Cedar Mountain and Antietam, all fought 
that year after the comet's disappearance. 

1877 — Coggia's comet. This comet was seen at its 
brightest over southern France and Spain during the 
summer months of that year. Spain was then in the 
throes of the bloody Carlist war. 



1881 — Garfield's comet. The comet showed itself for 
a few nights only in March during the week following 
President Garfield's inauguration. It was observed 
also in Russia. On March 13 Emperor Alexander II of 
Russia was assassinated with a oomb. Three months 
later President Garfield was assassinated in Washing- 
ton. 

1882 — Comet of Tel-el-Kebir. A comet with two tails 
was seen at its brightest over Egypt during the first 
two weeks of September. Egypt was then in the midst 
of Arabia Pasha's uprising against the British. On 
September 18, when the comet was last seen, Arabi 
Pasha was overthrown by General Wolseley in the 
bloody battle of Tel-el-Kebir. 

1906 — San Francisco comet. A comet discovered by 
Ross on March 17, remaining visible for one month. 
Observed from the Lick observatory in California. On 
April 17 came the California earthquake and burning 
of San Francisco. 

1908 — Morehouse's comet. Visible for more than a 
month, during the autumn. In Italy it was interpreted 
afterward as an omen foreboding the Messina earth- 
quake late in the year. 

1910 — Halley's comet. Great wars prophesied. Pes- 
tilence and disease. — Sunday Oregonian, Portland, May 
15, 1921.

VACCINATION AND ASTROLOGY 

The medical fraternity is wrong in assuming that 
every child will sooner or later contract smallpox un- 
less vaccinated, because unless Mars afflict either the 
ascendant or the luminaries (Sun and Moon), or is in 
the 6th house of the nativity, there is little liability to 
take smallpox. But persons wlio have the afflictions 
named should exercise constant sanitary precautions, 
and pay attention to hygiene and diet. "Directions" in 
the progressed horoscope would show when affection is 
likely and the person could apply double caution during 
such periods and reduce the chance to a minimum. 

The nativity of a gentleman born at Sunderland, 
England, 0:54 A.M., June 10, 1853, shows 6 degrees of 
the zodiacal sign Aries rising and hyleg; Mars, its ruler, 
is in Taurus, nearly conjoined with Uranus and Saturn. 
He died at the age of 19 (a Mars period) of smallpox (a 
Martial disease). The "directions" operating was Mars 
conjunction and parallel ascendant. He was vaccinated 
in infancy. Mars in the sign of the Bull (Taurus) and 
afflicted would show no help from that animal source. 

In fact, he would have been better off without the 
lymph in his system; this is shown by Mars being 
tinctured with evil rays from Uranus and Saturn.

GREAT MEN AND ASTROLOGY 

In a small work called "The Uses of Biography," by 
Edwin Paxton Hood, London, England, published in 
1853, in chapter VII, the writer gives an account of the 



_ 38 

foibles and vices of great men, and on pages 116 and 
117 we have the following sentences: 

''Cardinal Richelieu, the minister of a great empire 
(France) believed in the calculation of nativities. Even 
Sir Isaac Newton gave, credit to the idle nonsense of 
judicial astrology; he who first calculated the distances 
of the stars and revealed the laws of motion by which 
the Supreme Being organizes and keeps in their orbits 
unnumbered worlds he who had revealed the mysterites 
of the stars themselves. Dryden, Sir Isaac Newton's 
contemporary, believed in the same absurdity." 

(Is it not strange that a man may excel in all the 
modern sciences, and even make wonderful discoveries 
in such as astronomy and mathematics, and be counted 
sane and sensible, and even a very learned man, but the 
moment he touches astrology, by some legerdemain, 
he is said instantly to become insane or a scoundrel? 
There is no doubt but Sir Isaac Newton was an excellent 
Astrologer, and even calculated his own and most of his 
friends' horoscopes. Cardinal Richelieu no doubt under- 
stood Astrology, but probably he employed eminent 
Astrologers to do the most of the calculations for him 
in his judicial Astrology, as had Queen Elizabeth.) 

"It is published by William Congreve, an English ac- 
tor, and the same was also published in the Encyclopae- 
dia Britannica and a number of other publications, that 
John Dryden calculated his son Charles' horoscope, and 
the predictions were filled to the letter. Mr. Congreve 
states that when Mrs. Dryden commenced in labor or 
her son Charles, Dryden left his watch in charge of one 



39 _ 

of the ladies in attendance with a strict injunction to 
notice the exact moment of the child's birth. In about 
a week after her confinement Mr. Dryden took the oc- 
casion to tell his wife that he had calculated the child's 
horoscope and observed with grief that the child was 
born in an evil hour. That Jupiter, Venus and the Sun 
were all under the earth, and the Lord of the ascendant 
was afflicted with a hateful square-of Saturn and Mars. 
He went on to tell her that if he lives to arrive at his 
8th birthday he will come near to a violent death, 
but if he escapes that, and I see but small hopes that 
he will, in his 23rd year he will again be under the 
same evil direction, and if he escapes that also, the 
33rd and 34th years will, I fear There he was in- 
terrupted by the grief of Lady Dryden, who could no 
longer hear one calamity after another prophesied for 
her new-born son. 

"When young Dryden arrived near his 8th year, it was 
arranged that Lady Dryden should spend the summer 
vacation with her Uncle Mourdant, and Mr. Dryden was 
invited to the country seat of Earl of Berkshire, his 
brother-in-law, to spend his vacation." (It appears from 
the account published that Dryden had two sons, John 
and Charles; it was arranged that each of them should 
take one of the boys. Lady Dryden wished her husband 
to take John, as she desired to have Charles with her, 
feeling that he would be safer under her maternal care 
than in his father's company.) "But Dryden insisted on 
taking Charles, and they parted in anger." 

On the child's 8th birthday it was arranged by the 



Earl of Berkshire that his guests should go hunting, 
and Dryclen, to keep the child out of mischief, set him 
a double lesson in Latin, with a strict injunction that 
he should not go out of the house. Charles was per- 
forming- his duty in obedience to his father, but as ill- 
fate would have it, the stag made toward the house, and 
the noise, alarming the servants, they hastened out to 
see the sport. One- of the servants took young Dryclen 
by the hand and led him out to see it also; when just 
as they came to the gate, the stag, being at bay with 
the clogs, made a bold push and leaped over the court 
wall, which was low and very old, and the dogs, follow- 
ing, threw down a part of the wall ten yards in length, 
under which Charles Dryclen lay buried. He was imme- 
diately dug out, and after six weeks' languishing in a 
dangerous way, he recovered. In the 23rcl year of his 
age Charles fell from the top of an old tower belonging 
to the Vatican at Rome, occasioned by a dizziness with 
which he was seized, the heat of the day being exces- 
sive. He again recovered, but was ever after in a lan- 
guishing, sickly state. In the 33rd year of his age, be- 
ing returned to England, he was unhappily drowned at 
Windsor. He had, with another gentleman, swam twice 
across the Thames, but returning a third time, it was 
supposed he was taken with a. cramp, because he called 
out for help, though too late. The father's calculation 
proved but too prophetical." 

Some people will say. What is the use calculating 
horoscopes when the fate is inevitable and cannot be 
avoided, or in any way warded off, even when the nature 
of the accident and the time of the event has been pre- 



44444 4 +44 44 44 4 4 44 4444 4 44 444K4444 4 4 4444 

41 

dieted? But the reader ought to bear in mind that the 
aspects in this nativity are what are called marked. 
The mere expression of Mr. Dryden's that "the child 
was born in an evil hour (meaning an evil planetary 
hour) ; Venus, Jupiter and the Sun were all under the 
earth, the ascendant being afflicted with a hateful square 
of Mars and Saturn," alone proves that he was an As- 
trologer, and also that the child had a marked horoscope 
and that it would die a violent death. It also shows 
that the ascendant was what is termed the "Giver of 
Life," and being so afflicted, it was almost impossible 
for the native to die a natural death. Therefore, in 
horoscopes of this kind, the stars are said to rule or 
govern the native, and the native does not rule the 
stars, but he is controlled by them to a great extent. 

Horoscopes like that of Charles Dryden are the ex- 
ception and not the rule, but when we meet with them 
there is nothing more convincing of the truth of As- 
trology. Indeed, in this kind of nativities, Astrology 
becomes a positive or exact science, and in such cases 
it is almost useless fighting against fate. In the case 
of young Dryden, although he had wealthy, kind and 
indulgent parents, also servants to take special care of 
him, yet those servants went and led him into the very 
evil they were charged to guard him against. With 
such "unfailing experience," no wonder when such men 
as Sir Isaac Newton, John Kepler, Cardinal Richelieu 
and John Dryden could see such convincing proofs of 
the truth of Astrology that they should look upon the 
science of Astrology, as we look upon A, B, C, or the 

<4 444 44 4 444 44 4 4 4 44 4 444444444444W4400* 0i 



42 

English alphabet, as merely the elements of language. 
But the real science of language only begins when we 
associate these letters into syllables and words, and 
associate meanings to words, and then associate words 
into sentences, and these sentences into paragraphs, 
etc. 

William and Robert Chambers, in their Encyclopaedia, 
say that: 

"Astronomy, or the knowledge of the stars, was till a 
very recent period cultivated mostly with a view to 
judicial Astrology," and that "this (Astrology) was con- 
sidered the higher or real science," and as Richard A. 
Proctor says: "That throughout the long period, to 
be measured by thousands of years, when all men held 
this belief, the most part held what anciently had been 
the belief of all," and "to this day, are not all languages 
permeated by the expressions belonging to the old as- 
trological teachings?"

BACON MYSTERY CLEARS. 

Cipher Code Used By Ancient Scientist Is Explained To 
Surgeons. 

L. A. Express April 21, 1921 
Philadelphia, April 20. — The first public explanation 
of the key discovered to the cipher code used by Roger 
Bacon, the thirteenth-century philosopher, which has 
revealed Bacon knew of the telescope, microscope and 
sciertific facts hitherto supposed to have been unknown 



43 

until centuries later, was made tonight before the 
College of Physicians and Surgeons. 

Addresses were made by W. M. Voynich of London, 
owner of the Roger Bacon manuscript in which the key 
to the code was found, Prof. Romaine Newhold of the 
University of Pennsylvania, who is working on the 
cipher, and Prof. C. S. McClug who is assisting Prof. 
Newhold. 

"At present it is only possible to conjecture at the 
extent and importance of the discoveries," said Prof. 
Newhold, " for the art of reading the cipher is yet in 
its early stages and it is not certain that the whole 
manuscript can be read. 

The manuscript falls in four divisions he con- 
tinued, "dealing with plants, the heavenly bodies, the 
generation of animal life and preparation of drugs. The 
common link connecting all four is probably Bacon's 
interest in the prolongation of human life." 

"Plants are discussed because of their medicinal prop- 
erties; stars because they determine a man's character 
at his birth and influence him throughout life; embry- 
ology because of the bearing on later life of all factors 
influencing conception, and pharmacology because drugs

SURPASSING SKILL OF ANCIENTS 

"We are losing all our secrets in this shabby age," 
an architect said. "If we keep on the time will come 



44 

when we can do nothing well. 

"Take, for instance, steel. We claim to make good 
steel, yet the blades the Saracens turned out hundreds 
of years ago would cut our own blades in two like 
butter. 

"Take ink. Our modern ink fades in five or ten 
years to rust color, yet the ink of mediaeval manu- 
scripts is as black and bright today as it was 700 years 
ago. 

."Take dyes. The beautiful reds and blues and greens 
af antique oriental rugs have all been lost, while in 
Egyptian tombs we find fabrics thousands of years 
old that remain brighter and purer in hue than any 
modern fabrics. 

"Take my specialty, buildings. We can't build as 
the ancients did. The secret of their mortar and 
cement is lost to us. Their mortar and cement were 
actually harder and more durable than the stones they 
bound together, whereas our — horrors!" — New York 
Press. 

(The secret of the ancients' success is astrological, 
and to the students of Astrology it is easily revealed. 
Men of modern days, although having superior ad- 
vantage of scientific inventions, cannot equal in many 
ways ancient skill, because they ignore the point to 
which the ancients paid great attention, that is, the 
choice of an auspicious time for the commencement of 
their undertakings so as to be assisted by Nature's vib- 
rations in their efforts. Where moderns have paid at- 
tention to this matter they have been amply rewarded 



45 

for their pains, witness the Greenwich Observatory, 
which has given useful service or over 400 years. It 
was built by the Astronomer Royal, Flamstead, after he 
had erected a horoscope to direct the time of building. 
The chart hung over the door for many years as a 
testimony and example for those who could discern. 

The dates given in first few pages of the "Bulletina" 
each month are intended to help in just such ways to 
work in conscious unity with Nature. Of course, those 
who are capable of using their own horoscope in con- 
junction therewith have an additional advantage.

EXEUNT "A M." AND "P. M." 

So far as railroads, telegraph companies and the 
postal service are concerned, France, some years ago, 
said farewell to the system of dividing the day into two 
parts sf twelve hours each. 

The hours are now numbered from 1 to 24 and "a. 
m" and "p. m" are matters of record no longer. The 
new style was tried out in connection with telegraph 
service and proved so satisfactory that its adoption be- 
came general to the extent named. 

There seems much to commend the departure from 
long established custom — and no good argument against 
it, except that it would "seem to strange" for a time.

WHAT IS IN A NAME? 

In the Evening Telegram of April 16, 1912, we see a 
picture of Uncle Sam decked in mourning and crying, 
as he gazes far out to sea. Reference to the "Astrolog- 
ical Bulletina" for April, under head of "Influence of 
' Planets/' page 96, we find "Sorrow for oar country . . . 
many sudden deaths." 

The steamship Titanic left Southampton April 10th 
on her maiden voyage, narrowly missing a collision 
with the liner New York before leaving port. 

About 10:25 Sunday night she struck an iceberg 450 
miles south of Cape Race, off the Grand Banks, and 
sunk a few hours later, causing great loss of life 
and property. 

When the new age has fully dawned such catastrophes 
will not occur, because ships will be launched as well as 
named auspiciously, instead of otherwise. 

Had the owners of the Titanic consulted a reliable 
Astrologer and launched the ship at a time shown as 
favorable according to the science of Astrology, the 
ship would be afloat today and would eventually prove 
valuable property. 

Not only was it amiss to improperly time the launch- 
ing, but also to unfortunately name the vessel. 

The name "Satanic" would have been no more unfor- 
tunate than the name "Titanic," for the sum of the 
value of the letters in each equals 13 symbolized as 
a skeleton with a scythe ! 



47 

The Titanic was launched and christened at Belfast 
on May 31st, 1911. 

Experience is a costly teacher, but it teaches well. 
It seems a pity, however, that so many lives should be 
sacrificed to ignorance, or neglect, of Nature's law. 
Gradually new thought people will reach the majority 
and will compel public institutions to be scientifically 
conducted so as to insure public safety. A very good 
law would be to require all vessels to have painted on 
the bow a horoscope for the time of launching. Such a 
law would develop two good results: First, owners 
would see that ships were launched at good times, so 
as to have good horoscopes; second, people could take 
their choice of vessels for travelling according to how 
their own horoscopes harmonized with those of the 
ships. Having launched the ship properly, they would 
name it appropriately, and disasters would be reduced 
to a minimum.

ASTROLOGICAL COMMENTS ON THE STEAMSHIP 
"TITANIC" DISASTER 

(Dis-aster — meaning Ill-starred) 
The old time saying might be remembered that 
"Birds of a feather flock together," and in such cases 
as this some are irresistibly drawn so as to be in the 
catastrophy, while others change their plans at the last 
moment and avoid the trouble. It would be found that 
the horoscope of each person drowned had a strong 
testimony for violent death, and, could their "progressed 
charts" also be examined, they would show the planet- 



48 

ary affliction falling due at that time. 

It will be noticed that when the boat struck and 
sunk the Moon was in the "watery" sign Pisces. The 
solar system has just left that sign, through which it 
has been passing the last 2160 years, and it is now 
entering Aquarius. Does this great disaster symbolize 
death to the old age and the birth of the new? If so, 
it also symbolizes death to unearned increment, for in 
the New Age wealth will not be confined to the few, 
but will be much more evenly distributed. One of the 
notable features of this disaster was the death of a 
number of the world's wealthiest men. 

The fact that Moon was conjunction Venus then 
made it possible for so many women and children to be 
saved. Mars was afflicted and consequently many men 
lost their lives. Mars is a masculine planet! The 
Moon being in good aspect to Uranus, brought assist- 
ancei through the good offices of air and electricity, via 
wireless. 

• * * 

The launching of a vessel is the birth of the vessel. 
A boat launched on a day of favorable planetary as- 
pects and in a beneficent planetary hour will prove safe 
for the traveling public and a profitable property for its 
owners, and vice versa. The name of a ship should 
also be carefully selected.

ANENT PLANETARY HOURS. 

Several methods of Planetary Hour arrangements 
have been devised of late years and it has been our 
pleasure and privilege to examine and try each one, 
finding that they all possess some merit but none stand 
the continual test, as do those of the ancients, and 
come out accurately. The trouble with the new offer- 
ings in this line is that they mostly try to conform with 
even hours of clock time. Clock time, is an artificial 
division of the day for business purposes and has noth- 
ing to do with the natural day which begins at Sun-rise 
and ends at Sun-set; the days being longer in Summer 
than in Winter. 

The Ancients were careful observers of Nature and 
they, therefore, used the natural day as a basis for 
"planetary hours." They used these ''hours" with great 
success in the science of medicine, for' the administra- 
tion of potions and for the gathering and brewing of 
herbs. In "Horary Astrology," also, was the planet 
ruling the hour of the figure used as a ruler. 

In our own experience we have taken the opportunity 
to test the ancient system many hundreds of times and 
have found that when working with nice calculations 
requiring scientific results we must have recourse to 
the Ancients' system of time division for the Planetary 
Hour. 

Anybody can make a little research or investigation 
of the matter and satisfy themselves both as to the 
accuracy of the system and the ultility of the "hours." 
For instance, at 11 A. M., on Saturday, May 4, 1912, at 



50 

Portland, Ore, (Lat. 45 degrees N.), a party called us 
up regarding a printing job. Reference to the planetary 
hour tables will show Mercury ruling that hour. Cor- 
rect, as Mercury rules literature, circulars, etc. We 
next look to see how Mercury is aspected that day, re- 
ferring to either the "Bulletina" or to an ephemeris, 
and, as we find Mercury well aspected on that date we 
accepted the proposition and consequently profited 
thereby. 

* * ¥ 

THE MOON AND URANUS 

The Moon conjunction or parallel Uranus is not al- 
ways adverse; for instance, it would be good happening 
in the horoscope of a person who delighted in romance, 
adventure, excitemen, changes, curious and occult sub- 
jets, because this aspect would bring them a period 
of the very things they wished for and enjoyed. This 
would especially be true if happening in the 1st, 3rd, 
5th or 11th house of the nativity. 

If the aspect occurred in the 2nd, 6th, 8th, 10th or 
12th house it would bring difficulty, trouble or sorrow, 
according to the house occupied; if the 2nd, financial 
anxiety; 6th, physical indisposition, changes among 
employees; 8th, sorrow through sudden deaths; 10th, 
danger of business reversals, or social discredit; in 
12th, secret difficulties of a nature indicated by the 
houses Moon and Uranus ruled, viz., 2nd house, by 
financial affairs; 3rd, brethern or neighbors; 4th, do- 
mestic; 5th, speculation, love affairs or children; 6th, 
sickness or employes; 7th, marriage, partnership or 



51 

law suits; 8th, by deaths, or legacies; 9th, religious 
matters or foreign affairs; 10th, business credits; 11th, 
friends, acquaintences; 12th, things of obscure or sub- 
tile nature with probably no real foundation for worry. 
Fear of imprisonment. 

The Conjunction or parallel occurring in 4th house 
would promote change of residence, which might be 
beneficial or otherwise according to whether or not 
Moon or Uranus was dignified in the Sign which oc- 
cupied the 4th. If they were in a Sign in which they 
were neither dignified nor debilitated, judge for the 
better, because Moon is naturally at home in the 4th 
house, regardless of the Sign. (Moon ruling Cancer, 
the 4th Sign of the Zodiac.) 

This configuration occurring in the 7th house might 
not be altogether adverse as it might indicate the part- 
ing of the ways between two who were not entirely har- 
monious. Among those who were single it might indic- 
ate a union of great fascination or union of one who 
was greatly interested in progressive movements. But 
in the realm of business it could indicate sudden and 
unexpected opposition, likely by municipal or federal 
authorities or trouble with transportation companies; 
changes among partners. Adoption of radically new 
policies. 

In the 9th house, this aspect would cause interest in 
foreign affairs, a desire to travel, and if in a movable 
sign would indicate a sudden journey, likely to another 
country, beneficial or otherwise according to whether 
these planets were dignified or debilitated by being 



52 

in the Sign on cusp of 9th, and according to the indi- 
cations of the 9th at birth. It may also indicate some 
complete change of attitude and thought regarding re- 
ligious or scientific subjects, and increase the imagina- 
tive and intuitive faculty — which, to a writer, would be 
very good. 

Thus we see that whether or not the effect of Moon 
conjunction or Parallel Uranus would be adverse de- 
pends largely up on the stage of progress of the in- 
dividual concerned. To an orthodox person, a stickler on 
conventionalities, some of its effects would be looked 
upon with horror, while another person, more advanced, 
would revel in the vibations. 

"All things work together for good to those who 
love the Lord" (law). "There is nothing evil, but think- 
ing makes it so." 

Regarding the "house" in which this aspect occurs: 
if the Progressed Moon is meeting the Progressed 
Uranus then the house in which it occurs in the Prog- 
ressed chart is to be considered. 

If the Moon is making this aspect to the radical place 
of Uranus as it was on birth day, then this house in 
the natal chart is the one to be considered. 

* • • 

Influence of Moon's Transits in the 12 Houses. 

The advantage of knowing Moon's place and aspects, 
as connected with your. Nativity, lies in the fact that it 
has much dominion over the general daily affairs. When 



53 

we see the Moon forming a certain aspect, we can judge 
its effect, and when we know in advance what causes 
and effects will be in operation it gives us the oppor- 
tunity to choose or decide on our mode of action. 

When; the Moon is in the Ascendant of your Nativity 
it affects your personality and brings matters of self 
into consideration. It brings desire for a change and 
releases conservatism by inclining to sociability or pub- 
licity. Increases activity of the action of moisture in 
head and face. 

In the second — matters of finance will attract at- 
tention and it is a good time in which to plan methods 
and ways and means of increasing or conducting mone- 
tary considerations, especially those matters which in- 
volve dealings with the public or with common com- 
modities and of a changeable nature. Good for vocal 
exercise. 

In third house — inclines to short journeys, dealings 
with neighbors or kindred and correspondence. If you 
make up your mind about something when Moon is in 
the third house you are very apt to change it. Good for 
study of public affairs, matters of mental enlighten- 
ment and breathing exercises, as it affects the lungs; 
favorable for practice requiring dexterity of hands or 
fingers. 

In fourth house — arouses interest in the home, the 
place of abode, and family or domestic affairs and also 
matters connected with land or property. This location 
of the Moon conduces to thoughts of change, if only 
to changing things about the house. It affects the 



54 

breast and stomach and one should be careful in eat- 
ing and drinking. 

In fifth house — gives a speculative tendency, an incli- 
nation to take chances, to favor romance, gaiety and 
the society of younger people. It conduces to happi- 
ness, mirth, a sense of freedom and increase of the 
affections. 

In sixth house — conduces to matters of employment, 
employes, labor, food, clothing, animals or sickness. It 
inclines to physical indisposition so that care should be 
given to hygienic methods. Overwork or over-indul- 
gence in any way is likely to result in sickness affect- 
ing the stomach and bowels. 

In seventh house — awakens interest in matters con- 
nected with partners, associates, marriage, opponents, 
and dealings with others. Unions, partnerships, etc., 
undertaken when Moon is in this house are subject to 
changes and therefore care should be taken not to be- 
stow too much confidence in the steadfastness or con- 
tinuity of deals with others. 

In eighth house — with the majority of people the 
transit of Moon through their eighth house is not very 
perceptible in effect but it inclines to attention to mon- 
etary affairs or financial conditions of others or the 
money of partner or associate, and it causes the mind 
to revert to those who are dead. It is a good time to 
enter silence for the purpose of psychically commun- 
ing with those in the spirit world (choose the planetary 
hours of Moon or Venus.) 

In ninth house — turns the attention to higher chan- 



55 

nels of thought, matters of education, spiritual or 
psychical unfoldment and thoughts of journeys or rem- 
iniscence of distant scenes. Impressive dreams, when 
Moon is in this house, are usually prophetic. 

In tenth house — inclines to business activity in a 
professional way or with professional people. It con- 
duces to change in business methods or pursuits and 
brings up matters connected with honor, credit or ad- 
vancement. Interest in mother's welfare and also that 
of the Government or that of the President. 

In eleventh house — usually brings one into contact 
with others in a social way, opens up feelings of so- 
ciability, and interest in friends. It usually sets up new 
hopes and wishes and revives old ones. 

In twelfth house — gives interest in occult affairs or 
matters of a secret or mysterious nature. It is apt to 
bring to the fore any restrictions or delays which annoy 
the native, but by silently entering the inner self the 
Moon here is likely to shed light into the deeper re- 
cesses so that the way may be seen to extricate one's 
self from difficulty and become released from bondage 
of any sort. 

The foregoing delineations are the combined influ- 
ences of the Moon and the house it is transiting 
through without consideration for any aspects which 
might be formed. An aspect would modify or accent- 
uate the conditions as stated according to whether 
a favorable or adverse aspect. 

All the planets affect the house of one's nativity 



__ 56 

through which they may be transiting. 

The Moon transits through all the houses of a nativity 
in about 27% days. 

Mercury, Venus and Sun take about a month to go 
through one house. Mars takes about six weeks; Jup- 
iter about one year; Saturn about 2% years; Uranus 
about seven years; Neptune requires fourteen years 
to go through one house. Owing to various reasons 
the planets may take a less or greater time than stated. 
If an intercepted sign is in any house then the planets 
will require about a double length of time to go through 
it.

About the Effects of Transits. 

Ques. — Will the Transit of Moon or any planet over 
Radical or Progressed planets have effect when there 
is no Progressive aspect in force at the time of Transit? 

Ans. — Yes. Transiting bodies crossing over the 
horoscopal places of other bodies or over important 
places in the horoscope such as Sextile, Square, Trine 
or Opposition to any planet have a very sensible effect 
regardless of whether or not there may be any "direc- 
tional" aspect on at the time. The principal differ- 
ence between a Transit and a Direction is not in effect 
but in the duration of the effect, for Transits come and 
go in much shorter time than Directional aspects. Also, 
the effect of a Direction is more noticeable when there 
is a Transit to the Progressed or Radical planets in 
question. 



57 

Transits, Adverse and Good. 

Ques. — What effect has an adverse Transit over a 
Good Progressed Aspect? 

Ans. — To answer this question we must use an il- 
lustration; for instance: A good Directional aspect 
would be Venus progressed sextile Sun progressed and 
an adverse Transit would be the coming of Saturn to a 
conjunction Venus, but, Saturn would at the same time 
be in Sextile to Sun, which is a good aspect. This 
transit would have the effect of delaying for the time 
being the influence of the good aspect between Venus 
and Sun, as set down in the regular cannons of Astrol- 
ogy and would produce disappointments in matters 
ruled by the House of the chart then occupied by this 
transiting Saturn. The good aspect of Sun standing by 
would prevent any very serious results from the transit 
of Saturn over Venus. The good aspect of Saturn to 
the Progressed Sun would tend to benefit matters ruled 
by the House occupied by this Sun. On the other hand, 
a good transit over a good Direction would accentuate 
the favorable vibrations of the Direction and it would 
be especially noticeable on the days when the Moon 
also by Transit formed good aspects to this combina- 
tion. 

• • * 

Transits Over Ascendant and Midheaven. 

Ques. — Have transiting planets any effect by as- 
pects to the Ascendant or Midheaven? 

Ans. — The most important part of a House in a 
chart is the cusp and aspects to the cusp of any house 
must effect it in kind. The most important cusps are 
the 1st and 10th, in Nativities, and the most important 
transit is the conjunction. Minor aspects by Transit 
have little appreciable effect. 

* • • 



58 

Transits and the Nativity. 

Ques. — Does the Conjunction or opposition of two or 
more planets in the current year have any effect in the 
Radix or the Progressed chart of an Individual? 

Ans. — Such configurations have effect on individuals 
in whose charts they may fall on the place of planets, 
cusps or important places in the chart, same as a 
Transit. 

• • • 

Length of the Effect of Transits. 

Ques. — How long does the effect of a transit con- 
tinue? 

Ans. — That depends upon two things. 1st, which 
planet is doing the transiting, for each planet moves 
through the zodiac at its own rate of motion, the Moon 
being swiftest and Neptune slowest, their order of speed 
being, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, 
Uranus, Neptune. The second consideration in the 
length of effect of a transit is whether or not the tran- 
sitor turns retrograde before it gets out of orb of as- 
pect with the transited. It frequently occurs that a tran- 
siting planet comes up, to a point, turns retrograde and 
recrosses that point, and, turning direct in motion, 
crosses it for the third time, thus affecting that place 
or planet three times as long as usual. Look in the 
ephemeris and count how many days it requires for 
the transitor in question to traverse 8 degrees preced- 
ing the exact aspect. After the aspect is complete, the 
effect quickly diminishes, unless the transitor turns ret- 
rograde and goes back over the aspect. It takes Nep- 
tune several years to form and complete an aspect, 
while Venus or Mercury would cover the same amount 
of longitude in a few days. During a period of good 
"directions" the potency of good transits is enhanced 
and the evil of adverse transits diminished, and vice 
versa. Favorable and unfavorable days may be known

Effect of Latitude and Longitude on an Aspect. 

Ques. — What effect has difference in Latitude or 
Declination upon the force of an Aspect. 

Ans. — Latitude is distance from the Ecliptic or 
Sun's path and when planets in zodiacal aspect have 
the same degree of Latitude the effect of the aspect 
is stronger than if the degrees of Latitude were widely 
separate. 

Declination is distance as measured from the ce- 
lestial equator. Planets having the same degrees of 
Declination are Parallel, regardless of what zodiacal 
aspect they may be in. When planets are Parallel and 
at the same time in Aspect it is best to interpret the 
effect in terms of the Aspect, remembering that the 
aspect is particularly strong because of the Parallel. 

• * • 

About Progressed Aspects. 

Ques. — In the progressed chart does Sun P. in con- 
junction Mars radix have same effect as if Mars P. 
came to conjunction Sun radix? F. C. M., Alliance, 
Ohio. 

Ans. — As far as the influence of the conjunction 
itself is concerned there would be little if any differ- 
ence. But a difference would manifest due to the 
fact that in the first instance the Sun would bring 
effects of the particular house which it ruled, while 
in second place in similar manner Mars would bring 
up effects coinciding with the things of the house 
which he ruled and in both cases they would act 
through matters ruled by the house in which the con- 
junction occured. The radical planet in both cases 

00 0000000000 00 000 00000000000000 00* 



60 

would bring up influences from its radical house, but 
the progressing planet would be the more pronounced 
in operation. 

• * • 

Directional Aspects of Venus. 

Ques. — Venus is never more than 48 degrees from 
Sun, and therefore can form but conjunction, semi- 
sextile and semi-square aspects; can the Sun or Venus 
make a square or trine or opposition by "direction" to 
their own radix? — F. C. Marchland. 

Ans. — Yes, by direction Sun moves one degree per 
year (Venus almost the same), and in 60 years would 
be sextile to its radical place, square in 90 years and 
trine in 120 years. Pew people live to see the trine, and 
none the opposition. Suppose that Venus was conjunc- 
tion Sun at birth and suppose also that by direction 
it moved away at rate of one degree per year, we would 
find as follows: 30 years, Venus semi-sextile Sun radix; 
45 years, semi-square; 60 years, sextile; 72 years, quin- 
tile; 90 years, square, etc. 

The average motion of Venus is between 1°.02' and 
1°.22 / per day (per year, by direction). 

The 48° limit you mention between Venus and Sun 
is by transit: by "direction" in the proressed horoscope 
no such limit exists, as here explained. 

• • • 

Moon's Motion by Direction. 

Ques. — What difference is there between Moon's mo- 
tion by direction and that of the planets? Jessie A. 

Ans. — The Moon's average monthly motion by direc- 
tion in the progressed horoscope being between one 
degree and one degree five minutes, it is quite likely 



61 •- 

to form and leave a number of aspects during the year, 
but the remaining planets, because of their slower 
rates of motion, form their aspects slower and require 
a greater length of time to complete and pass them; 
thus, for instance, Jupiter approaching Saturn would 
consume a number of years in completing the conjunc- 
tion, during which time the native would profit by 
matters of land, property, etc., except in the months 
when Moon formed adverse aspects to these two; vice 
versa, the profits would be especially agreeable in 
the months when Moon formed favorable aspects to 
them. Transits of other planets to the place to these 
two would affect in a manner similar to that just stated 
regarding Moon. 

* • • 

About Parallels and Aspects. 

Ques. — Can a planet be both in opposition and paral- 
lel with another planet at the same time? — L .0. G. 

Ans. — Yes, an opposition and a parallel can occur 

simultaneously because the aspect of opposition is in 

LONGITUDE, while the parallel is in DECLINATION. 

Such a coincidence has the effect of acentuating the 
influence of the ASPECT. 

When a Parallel and an Aspect occur simultaneously 
the former is expressed in the term of the latter, i. e., 
the parallel will take on the nature of the aspect. 

• • • 

Latitude and Longitude in a Progressed Chart 

Ques. — In a progressed horoscope for a person living 
abroad do you think it would be better to make the 
chart according to the latitude of the altered locality 
instead of that of the birth place? H. M. M. 

Ans. — It is certainly not at all proper to change the 
latitude for making a progressed chart to suit the new 



62 

locality for the reason that if one did so it would 
change the period of the falling due of espects of plan- 
ets to house cusps, which were "cast" by nature to 
fall due at a certain time in the native's life. 

The following example will serve to illustrate why 
is should not be done: 

Suppose a person born in 56 degrees north latitude 
found Leo 18 degrees on the progressed ascendant and 
Saturn 3 degrees away at Leo 21 degrees, showing that 
in three years more the ascendant would be in con- 
junction with Saturn. This not being to his liking he 
resolves to travel south at the rate of one degree of 
latitude per year and thus always keep Saturn from 
forming that baneful conjunction! Or he could take 
a more extended journey and travel at once to 22 de- 
grees north latitude, which would give him Leo 2 de- 
grees on the progressed ascendant, leaving Saturn 19 
degrees (or years) to the rear, in which event Saturn 
doubtless would become entirely discouraged and give 
up the chase! An easier and cheaper way to sidetrack 
Saturn in such a case would be to simply change one's 
birth time and thus have some other sign rising alto- 
gether and never let Saturn get anywhere near the 
ascendant! This matter is also treated in "Practical 
Astrology for Everybody." 

* * • 

True Time of Birth 

Ques. — If a child is delivered instrumental ly some 
time before it would have been born naturally, how 
will that affect the ascendant? A. B. Weymouth. 

Ans. — The Astrological point of importance is the 
moment that the child WAS born. The time that one 
thinks it should have been born is of no importance 
compared with the time when the event actually took 



63 



place, whether ordinarily or otherwise. 

There is nothing "unnatural," but "there is a TIME 
for everything under the heavens; a time to be born," 
etc., and each individual is born into this phase of 
earthly existence at a time which will produce for it 
useful experiences. As the world grows wiser, how 
ever, parents will consciously choose opportune times 
for the birth -of their offspring and thus improve Nature 
just as we now improve vegetable growth by planting, 
etc., at auspicious times.

Ques. — How should one proceed to erect a horoscope 
when the birth time is exactly 12 o'clock noon? — A. 
Covell. 

Ans.— As the Sideral Time is given in the ephemeris 
for each day at noon, no calculation to it is necessary 
when the birth time is also at noon, because that given 
sideral time is the sideral time at birth anu is used 
exactly as it is to enter a Table of Houses to find what 
signs and degrees to put on cusps in the chart. After 
making the map look in a Table of Noon Marks, for the 
terrestrial longitude of birth place, and note the time 
given there, and by that you can tell how much before 
or after noon mark birth occured; then allow a cor- 
rection to each planet's ephemeral place for its motion 
in that amount of time, inserting them in chart when 
thus corrected.

House Cusps. 

Ques. — How may one be sure of which side of a 
house cusps to enter a planet in chart? 

Ans. — To help in determining which side of a cusp 
to place the planet and have it located in proper house 



64 

observe this rule: 

When a planet's degrees are more than the degrees 
on cusp it has already crossed over and gone beyond 
the imaginary line. 

When a planet's degrees are less than the degrees on 
cusp it has not yet reached the cusp and is placed in 
space preceding cusp and if not within eight degrees of 
it is also read as if in house preceding; but if within 
eight degrees of cusp it is placed in house preceding, 
but is read as though already actually in the house 
which it is about to enter. 



Ques.— Suppose that 12 degrees of the sign Cancer 
is on cusp of 12th house in a chart and that Neptune 
is at 9 degrees, retrograding, which house is Neptune 
in, 11th or 12th?— F. E. 

Ans. — The orb of the cusp of a house is 8 degrees 
and when any planet is within that number it is in 
conjunction with that cusp, regardless of whether or 
not the planet is retrograde; therefore, in this case 
Neptune would be read as in 12th house, but placed 
just before the cusp, in the 11th house. 

• • • 

The Ascendant. 

Ques. — Is the "ascendant" a point of division between 
the 1st and 12th houses in a horoscope? 

Ans. — Yes. The ascendant is always that point on 
the eastern horizon, where the Sun appears to rise 
every morning, and where signs and degrees of the 
zodiac appear to rise in rotation. Properly, the "as- 
cendant" is that sign and degree which is exactly on 
the eastern horizon at moment for casting the chart, 
although a planet is said to be on or in the ascendant 



65 

when within 12 degrees above the rising or within 20 
degrees below it. 

In all branches of Astrology the sign which may be 
ascending, and the planet that rules it, have an impor- 
tant influence in the reading of the chart; to obtain a 
correct ascendant it is necessary to have the correct 
time, date and place of birth.

Sun Sign Versus Ascending Sign 

Quest. — I am a Pisces, born with Sun in 20th degree 
of Pisces; as I have thought, the "Sign" I was born 
in was my first "House," therefore, what is meant by 
''Sun in 2nd House, 3rd House," etc., up to 12th 
House? 

Ans. — Your idea is erroneous, as it does not take into 
consideration the fact of the earth turning on its axis, 
making a complete revolution every twenty-four hours. 
As the Earth goes round the Sun it also turns on its 
axis, which causes the Signs of the Zodiac to appear 
to Ascend over the Eastern Horizon at the approxi- 
mate rate of one Sign every two hours; the twelve 
Signs all cross over the Ascendant in twenty-four hours, 
hence, it is necessary to know the TIME of birth in 
order to know what Sign is crossing the Ascendant,

His Ruling Signs. 

Quest. — I was born January 24, at 10:45 A. M.; some 
say my ruling sign is Aquarius and some say Aries. 
Which, is it?— A. E. S. C. 

Ans. — Both are ruling signs in your case. Your birth 
date is ruled by the Sign Aquarius. You were born at 
a time of day when Aries was ascending.

How to Distinguish Whether a Planet is Applying to or 
Separating From an Aspect. 

Quest. — How can I tell whether a planet is coming to 
or separating from an aspect? — Dr. C. A. S. 

Ans. — Points in the Zodiac which are certain num- 
bers of degrees away from a given place therein con- 
stitute angles which are called aspects, each angle or 
aspect having a distinguishing name. Suppose that the 
ascendant of a horoscope is the 8th degree of Sagit- 
tarius, then 60 degrees on either side of that point 
would be the 8th degree of Aquarius and the 8th degree 
of Libra. If some planet was between the 1st and 8th 
degree of Libra or Aquarius it would be applying to or 
forming the Sextile aspect, but if the planet was more 
than 8 degrees in Libra or Aquarius (say between 9th 
and 16th degree of either Sign) it would have past the 
point of aspect (the 8th degree) and would be leaving 
or separating from the aspect. 

It is of great importance to note whether an aspect is 
forming or is past; forthcoming conditions are told by 
aspects forming; past conditions are told by aspects 
separating. In other words, find the aspect from any 
given place in the Zodiac then note whether or not the 
aspecting planet has passed that point. The subject of 
aspects is thoroughly taught with the illustrations in 
Lesson 5 of the "Astrologian Outfit."

Are Aspects Which Are "Separating" To Be Entered 
in Birth Chart? 

Quest. — When recording aspects in a Radix or Natal 
chart, is an aspect that is separating taken into ac- 
count?— J. G. C. 

Ans. — Yes. In the birth chart aspects that are sepa-

67 



rating but still in orb are to be recorded, as they have 
an influence upon the individual, but not such a strong 
influence as if the aspect were forming. All natal 
aspects, whether forming or separating, have some 
bearing upon the mind and physical state; they give 
tendencies to the direction of metabolistic activity, 
tendencies and direction to cell-activity which are cast 
or moulded at the time of birth, and perpetuated 
throughout the life, unless modified or changed by an 
effort of will.

The Strongest Aspects 

L. W. G. asks: "Of all aspects, which are the 
strongest?" 

The aspects which manifest most strongly are those 
which affect the planets in the radix or birth chart. 
Aspects made by transiting planets are just as effective 
as aspects made by "progressed" planets, but their in- 
fluence is of shorter duration. 

• • • 

Importance of Aspect in Charts Versus Aspects 
in the Zodiac. 

Quest. — Which is the more important, the aspects as 
given for each day in the "Bulletina" or the aspects of 
Moon to the planets in one's own Natal Chart? — H. M. 
Habecker. 

Ans. — It would be difficult to say which; is the most 
important unless one had a Natal Chart in hand to 
make comparisons from day to day; on some days the 
aspects to the natal planets' places might be 
stronger than the general current Zodiac aspects, and 
vice versa.^ Both are important and particularly when 
they coincide. That is, if Moon is in adverse aspect to 
Saturn in Zodiac and on same day forms an adverse

68 



aspect to the place , of Saturn in your Natal Chart, the 
influence would be felt with unusual strength. 

On a day when the Moon was in adverse aspect to 
Saturn in Zodiac but in good aspect to place of Saturn 
in your Natal Chart, you would have delays, disappoint- 
ment on account of other people, would hear of their 
sorrows or troubles. 

On a day when Moon was in good aspect to Saturn in 
the Zodiac but in adverse aspect to Saturn's place in 
your Natal Chart, you would have a tendency to feel 
depressed or anxious or otherwise indisposed, but your 
environment would be helpful — that is, you would find 
things or people around not so bad as you might expect, 
judging from your own feelings.

The Stronger Aspects, Radical Versus Progressed. 

Quest. — Which are the stronger, aspects between pro- 
gressed planets or aspects of progressed planets to the 
Radical planets? — C. A. S. 

Ans. — Aspects to Radical places are the stronger. 
Aspects of transits or Progressed planets are important 
to the house cusps of Radix when the birth time is cor- 
rect. When looking for aspects by transiting planets or 
by progressing planets we use the Mechanical Aspec- 
tarian, also for locating aspects in a Nativity or Horary 
Charts. It will point out all aspects whatsoever, except 
Parallels.

The Response to Contrary Aspects. 

Quest. — If Sun was square (adverse) to Neptune in a 
Natal Chart, will not that offset the good indicated by 
Sun sextile (good) Neptune in the Zodiac on May 30, 
1920?— W. MacK. 



69 



Ans. — As the person had Sun and Neptune in adverse 
aspect to each other at birth, the good aspect on day 
mentioned will not directly benefit that person — they 
are not attuned to respond to that particular kind of 
vibration, yet they might be indirectly benefited by be- 
ing associated with someone who was responding to 
those benign aspects. 

Quest. — If a person has no aspect whatever between 
Mars and Jupiter in their Natal Chart would the aspects 
of any sort between Mars and Jupiter affect that per- 
son?— W. MacK. 

Ans.— If Mars or Jupiter were not in aspect to each 
other in the Birth Chart the person would not respond 
to aspects between these two planets unless one was a 
ruler in the chart. But the effect of such aspects might 
be brought to their notice through the manifestation 
of them in wife, son, friend, etc. 

Quest. — In judging a nativity where Venus is trine 
(good aspect) to Mars, does Venus modify Mars, or 
does Mars make Venus less Venus-like? — Dr. R. A. M. 

Ans. — Venus in good aspect to Mars tends to refine 
the Martian influence; the effect of Mars on Venus 
tends to stimulate and make more active the natural 
expression of both planets. 

• • • 

The Moon and Venus. 

Quest. — What is the meaning or portent of Moon op- 
position Venus (as on August 30, 1920, in the Zodiac) 
especially to a Cancer position? — Mrs. A. H. 

Ans. — Read the influence of "Moon adverse to Venus" 
in the "Planetary Daily Guide," or in "Students' Chart 
Reader," where it is delineated at length. Being a 
"Cancer" person the aspect would refer to you partic- 

W*04*44*** 4 f* 4 f44404*44 4 f0 4 f 4 f04 4 f0*0 4 f44**W A 



70 

ularly, as the Moon rules Cancer. Read the delineation 
carefully and then act according to the promptings of 
your higher, inner self. If you can correctly interpret 
the promptings from within you will be enabled to 
wrest victory from defeat, transmute the manifestation 
of the aspect and glean the bright, pure silver of the 
Moon'cj influence from the dross of error. For further 
instruction along this line of development, read ''How 
the Mind Can React Upon the Effect of Planetary Vibra- 
tions Manifesting in the Human Body," pages 30 to 49 
in "How Planets Affect People." 

• • • 

Conflicting Aspects 

Ques. — If the Moon was in good aspect to Jupiter 
in my own horoscope, but marked adverse in the "Plan- 
etary Daily Guide," what effect would it have? 

Ans. — The "Planetary Daily Guide" gives the General 
planetary influences, while your horoscope gives the 
individual influences and when these two conflict it has 
the effect of lowering or weakening the influence of 
each — neither vibration can act with the freedom that 
it would if the other force were absent. On a day of 
such confliction it is well to act with great caution and 
due deliberation and transact the more important mat- 
ters of the day in FAVORABLE PLANETARY HOURS 

In Astrology it is not expected that something will 
COME of an aspect that has PASSED. Astrologers aim 
to take advantage of a planetary influence as it is 
FORMING and they do not wait to act after an aspect 
has culminated and is waning; consequently, in the 
"Bulletina" and the "Guide" the aspects are quoted for 
the days on which they are FORMED, unless, as on rare 
occasions, there is reason to believe that an aspect will 
retain an influence some time after culmination because 
of being sustained by other aspects of similar quality 



71 

which immediately succeed it. 

Take, for instance, the Moon conjunction Sun, it is 
complete at 8:32 A.M., Greenwich time, or 2:32 A.M., 
American Central time, Monday, October 3, 1910. That 
is to say, it culminates or completes at 2:32 A. M. Mon- 
day, and from then on diminishes, but it has been form- 
ing and growing stronger all day Sunday, therefore, 
Sunday, as the Bulletina says, and not Monday, is the 
day to act on this planetary vibration, otherwise, if we 
just went by the Ephemeris without making this time 
difference we would be trying to act on Monday upon 
an aspect that had already passed, unless we acted be- 
fore 2:32 A.M. 

* * • 

The Ruler of Pisces. 

Ques. — Which planet rules Pisces, Jupiter or Nep- 
tune? L. L. L. 

Ans. — Referring to the planet Jupiter and Pisces 
would say, before Neptune was discovered, September 
23, 1846, Jupiter was assigned the rulership of the sign 
Pisces. Astrological text-books to that date quoted it 
as such, as have a few since that time, and astrologers 
of the old school naturally use it in that manner. How- 
ever, since then later observation and investigation 
warrants the assignment of Neptune as ruler of Pisces 
and text-books of late years teach it in this way. Jup- 
iter doubtless is powerful for good when in Pisces, but 
Neptune's influence more closely resembles and har- 
monizes with that sign. 

Upon investigation made by us during the past 
decade and recently on behalf of the Llewellyn College 
of Astrology, we satisfied ourselves with the accuracy 
of the new arrangement.

About Time Correction 

Ques. — In making a "Progressed" chart should there 
be a correction made between Standard and Mean 
time? — Emilie Atwood. 

Ans. — Yes, observe the same rule in that respect as 
you would in making a "Nativity" but only in the 
cases where birth occured since Nov. 18, 1883, when 
the change in time took place. This is a very import- 
ant consideration and should be closely observed; neg- 
lect of this may cause the cusps of houses to be wrong 
between one and six degrees The rule for changing 
Standard to Mean time is thoroughly treated and il- 
lustrated in the "Improved Perpetual Planetary Hour 
Book." 

• * • 

Birthmarks and Rectification. 

Ques. — Are birthmarks reliable for finding the ascend- 
ing sign when hour of birth is unknown? — F. C. Mar- 
chand. 

Ans. — Birthmarks alone are not sufficient for deter- 
mining the ascending sign, but indirectly they assist 
in the process. For instance, persons born with Uranus 
ascending usually have some peculiarity about head or 
face; they usually have a peculiar arrangement of fea- 
tures, giving an out-of-the-ordinary countenance or else 
have some defect. In one such known case the person 
has but one ear drum, the one on right side is missing: 
also the person has a cow-lick, which makes the hair 
part to the left instead of the right, as is usual. Thus, 
it is seen, when certain physical peculiarities are 
known, such as birthmarks, they are used as an aid to 
other testimonies for finding the sign which was ascend- 
ing. 

There is as yet no set rule for knowing what sign was 
ascending, in the absence of the birth time, but any one 



73 



well versed in the science, possessing sufficient infor- 
mation regarding a native, should be able to determine 
it, and after the sign has been found the regular rule 
of applying arcs of events will bring up the right degree 
ascending, from which is then derived the time of birth.

True Places of Hyleg. 

Ques. — I have noticed some disagreement as to the 
places for Hyleg; how do you account for this? Surely, 
all cannot be right. — F. C. M. 

Ans. — Hylegiacal places are 1st, 7th, 9th, 10th and 
11th houses. They begin, according to Ptolemy, from 5 
degrees above the eastern horizon and extend to 25 
degrees below it. The dexter sextile and square of 
these 30 degrees, which is the 11th and 10th house 
from 5 degrees above their cusps to 25 below; the 9th 
and 7th are taken from the five degrees below their 
cusps to 25 degrees above. They take precedure in 
the order first named. Ptolemy is taken as the authori- 
ty on Astrology, as Webster is on language. Where 
any difference is found from the above rule it is usual- 
ly a misprint rather than a change of rule. 

• • • 

Horary Chart Time 

Ques. — Which js the best time to make a "Horary/' 
when the idea first strikes you, or the thought of mak- 
ing a chart about it, which was not until the next day 
after? H. H. M. 

Ans. — It is not the chart which determines the out- 
come of any idea, event or proposition, the chart is 
but to read and interpret the planetary influences 
which were in operation when such idea or event took 



74 

place. The proper time to erect a chart, then, is for 
the time of the origin of the matter. But in the case 
where one writes, to an astrologer and asks a question 
about some matter it is proper for the astrologer to 
erect a chart for the moment of learing of the affair, 
i. e., time of reading the letter and handle the subject 
as though the querent was there in person asking the 
question, therefore using latitude of that place, viz., 
the astrologer's latitude and longitude. This is presum- 
ing that the matter is new to him, that is, born to him 
then, but if the matter is one of common public in- 
terest and is therefore, not then new to him, or he 
has cast a chart -on the same identical matter before 
then it is not proper to make a second chart for the 
same matter, but render the answer from the original 
map. 

When writing to an astrologer about any matter the 
querent should carefully state the time and place of 
the origin of the idea or affair so that the chart can 
be made for that date, but if that time is not known 
exactly the querent should not write until urgently 
impressed to do so and should give the time, date and 
place of writing, as the chart is to be made from this 
data in preference to that time when read by the 
artist.

The Earth and the Zodiac 

Ques.: When I went to school we were taught that 
the ecliptic was the path of the Earth around the 
Sun which puts the Earth's place 6 months different 
from the Sun's place as given by Astrology. Will you 
kindly explain?— C. C. M. 

Ans.: Astrology does not conflict with Astronomy 
but really accurately conforms therewith. It is usually 
easier to understand the apparent phenomena rather 
than the actual, i. e., the Earth actually travels in the 



75 



ecliptic or zodiac around the Sun at the rate of one 
sign per month, but no one can sense or see this Earthly 
movement, for to all mundane appearances the Earth 
is standing still, but by looking at the Sun that orb 
SEEMS to travel through the ecliptic, consequently we 
refer to the Sun as being in a new sign each month 
and it is left for the student's understanding to know 
that the Earth is in the opposite sign. For instance, 
the Sun is in Aries between March 21 and April 19th 
and the earth at that time is directly opposite in Libra 
, but to the earthly observer the Sun is in Aries and to 
designate the Earth's place between those dates we 
say "Sun in Aries." We could just as correctly say 
"Earth in Libra." It is the Sun's place that is most 
important as it gathers the influences of our opposite 
sign and showers it upon the Earth during the month 
of its apparent transit therethrough. 

Astrology, as we teach it, is Geo-centric because we 
take a view of the ecliptic in this way, rather than 
viewing it from the Sun, and all the planets' places 
are tabulated in a chart from a Geocentric stand- 
point, and, it is a striking fact, that observations of 
planetary effects bear out the propriety of this method 
better than by applying planets' places as they relate 
to the Sun, (Heliocentric), consequently Astrology as 
taught by all schools anl practical representatives of 
the science is Geo-centric .

Moon in the Signs 

Mr. Ludwig Johnson asks, "How can I know when 
the Moon is in a 'fruitful' sign? 

Reference to the first chapter in the "Bulletina" each 
month will show in which sign the Moon is located 
daily. The "Planetary Daily Guide" or an ephemeris 



76 

also gives Moon's place each day. 

The "fruitful"' signs are Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. 
Barren signs, Gemini, Leo Virgo. Masculine signs, 
Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius. Femi- 
nine Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces. 
It is a good idea to committ these to memory. 

• • • 

Quality of the Moon's Phases. 

Ques. — Does the fact of the Moon being New or " 
Old, or in 1st, 2d, 3d or 4th quarter, make any differ- 
ence in its effects on aspects with other planets? 

Ans. — During the 1st and 4th quarter or phase the 
Moon is "Dark," while between the 2d and 3d quarters 
it becomes "Full." Doctors in hospitals and insane 
asylums have noted that the patients are more restless 
at "full" of Moon than at any other time in the month. 
During "full" it is receiving the greatest amount of light 
from the Sun and shedding it upon the earth and the 
effect of its aspects with other planets at this time must 
be more noticeable upon us than during the "dark." 
Generally speaking, the best time in the Moon's phases 
is between the beginning and end of the 2d quarter 
( between 7 and 14 Hays old, care must be taken, how- 
ever, to avoid the Square and the Opposition which 
usually occurs on the 7th and 14th day), for it is then 
in the "new" and is "increasing" and its influence is 
most potent.

To Find Moon's Quarter in Birth Chart 

Quest. — How can I find in what quarter the Moon 
was in a natal chart? — E. W. L. 

Ans. — If the Moon is leaving the Sun and is less than 
90 degrees from it, the Moon is in 1st quarter, 90° being 



77 

a quarter. If the Moon is between 90 and 180 degrees 
from the Sun, it is in second quarter. At 180° apart is 
opposition or Pull Moon, where it starts its journey 
toward the Sun; hence, if Moon is approaching the Sun, 
but is more than 90 degrees away, it is in third quarter; 
if less than 90 degrees away it is in fourth quarter. 
When it is in exact conjunction with the Sun it is 
New Moon. 

As the Moon moves about 13° a day, approximately, 
on the average, it goes through one-quarter of the 
zodiac every seven days after the New Moon.. 

* • • 

New Moon or Lunations. 

Ques. — Is the monthly new moon important to indi- 
viduals? — J. A. 

Ans. — rSometimes it is important but that is depend- 
ent upon whether or not the luminaries at their con- 
junction form any aspects to planets in individual na- 
tivities. When the new moon occurs in a good place 
in your horoscope, and in good aspect to some of your 
radical planets, it betokens that the month, summed 
up in a general way, will prove fortunate. The contrary 
is to be judged when the lunation occurs in adverse 
aspects to the radix, and the evil is magnified should 
the lunation be an eclipse. 

The characteristics or rulership of the "house" in 
which the lunation occurs determines the sources from 
which good or evil may be most expected, as in the 
2nd house, financially; 11th House, by means of friends; 
etc.

Meaning of Triplicities. 
Ques.: What is the meaning and value of the "trip- 



0000000 00 000 00 00 000 000 00 00000000000 

78 

licities"? 

Ans.: There are four triplicities, composed as fol- 
lows: Fiery, Aries, Leo, Sagittarius; Earthly, Taurus, 
Virgo, Capricorn; Airy, Gemini, Libra, Aquarius; Wa- 
tery, Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces. 

There is a harmony existing between signs of the 
same triplicity and it is well to memorize them for fu- 
ture reference as their use is involved in various rules 
in the different branches of Astrology. For instance, 
people born in one sign are generally harmonious with 
the people born in the other two signs of that same 
triplicity. This is an illustration only, rather than a 
hard and fast rule, for the horoscope of two people 
should be consulted according to regular rules in order 
to determine the advisability of partnership or mar- 
riage. 

In alchemy, chemicals ruled by one sign have affinity 
for elements ruled by the other two signs of the same 
triplicity. 

In astro-meteorology they help in determining the 
state of weather, hot, cold, windy or wet.

Essential Dignities 

Ques. — On what basis 5 are the terms "fruitful," "semi- 
"fruitful" or "barren" distributed, and why are none of 
these terms attributed to the signs Aries and Sagit- 
tarius?— Mrs. M. G. F. Washburne. 

Ans. — Upon observations such as Moon's influence in 
the various zodiacal signs, noting effect on seeds 
planted, etc., or, in nativities, noting whether or not 
women were fruitful in child-bearing; in nativities of 
males, noting whether or not they were productive and 
creative in their actions. 

Aries and Sagittarius art'e not specifically mentioned 

0000000 000 00 00 00 0000 000000000 000 0004 



79 

in this regard by the text boks of Astrology, because 
neither sign is particularly fruitful nor barren, although 
it is believed that they are inclined toward barrenness 
Astrologically, "barren" may be considered as not so 
productive as "fruitful" and does not imply an absolute 
void or sterile condition, but relatively so when com- 
pared with "fruitful" signs. 

* * • 

Exaltation 

Ques. — Why are planets said to be "exalted" in cer- 
tain signs and not in others, such as "sun exalted -in 
Aries?" 

Ans. — Exaltation is a dignity for a planet next in vir- 
tue to its being in own home sign. It has certainly been 
observed that the manifestation of the power of benefic 
planets is increased, and the evil of malefics decreased 
when in certain signs other than those which they rule, 
and thus when in these signs they are said to be exalted. 
The exaltations are as follows: Sun in Aries; Moon in 
Taurus; North Node in Gemini; Jupiter in Cancer; Nep- 
tune in Leo; Mercury rules Virgo and is exalted in 
Virgo, giving it a double dignity when in that sign; 
Saturn in Libra; Uranus in Scorpio; South Node in Sa- 
gittarius; Mars in Capricorn; Uranus in Aquarius, which 
it also rules; Venus in Pisces. 

In Horary Astrology when the querent's ruler is ex- 
alted in signifies the person to be in good circumstances 
and well esteemed; one commanding and not to be 
easily overcome; vice-versa when the planet is in its 
"fall."

About Debilities. 

Ques. — What influence or bearing does "Fall" or 



*++++++ 4 f 4 f++++ 4 f+ +4 r ** + +++ +++ 4 W* 4 f+ 4f++++4f+ 



"Detriment" have upon a planet when it is in such 
signs? 

Ans. — The natural influence of a planet is weakened 
when in ''Fall" or "Detriment" as these are debilities. 
For instance. The power of a benefic planet for good 
is weakened and not so much benefit can be expected 
of it as when in a sign of "dignity." 

But in the case of malefics the malignant power is 
enhanced regarding misfortunes, and it makes the char- 
acter or nature of an individual less strong and gives 
them less integrity when ruled by a planet in its 
detriment.

The Strength of "Dignities" 

Suppose that Mercury was in a third house, but not 
in home-sign, exaltation, detriment or fall, but being 
in 3rd house (which is cadent and about equal to fall) 
would Mercury be judged as debilitated about equal to 
"fall" or "stronger," being, in the 3rd house? — J. S. C. 

Ans. — The "accidental dignities" (positions in 
houses) of planets coincide with the "essential digni- 
ties" (locations in Signs) about as follows: 

Planets angular in chart are about the same in 
strength as though in home-sign or exaltation; planets 
in succeedent houses, are about the same a^s though in 
detriment; planets in cadent houses are about the same 
as though in fall. There are exceptions to most all 
rules. The 3rd house rules the ordinary or objective 
mind, speech, expression, whether by sound, by writing 
or movements of the hands or eyes. The planet Mercury 
rules the same, therefore, when it is in the 3rd house it 
is "accidentally" in a place which freely permits the 
exercise of its natural qualities and it is therefore 
stronger therein than otherwise, and stronger than any

81 



other planet would be considered therein. If, while in 
3rd, it was in the sign of its detriment or fall, it would 
not then be able to so freely or perfectly manifest its 
inherent qualities through that individual. But if it was 
in the sign Gemini, in 3rd, it would have free and strong 
expression, unless impeded by some malign aspect of 
Saturn, Mars or Uranus.

Leo, Libra and the Body 

Ques. — It is stated in textbooks that Leo and Libra 
rule the back. Can both signs rule this part of body? 
F. W. 

Ans. — Leo rules upper part of back in region of the 
heart, while Libra rules lower back in region of kid- 
neys. 

• • • 

Accidents 

Ques. — What House of a chart rules accidents? 

Ans. — It depends upon the kind and the effect of the 
accident. An accident that produces sickness, that is, 
causes one to take to bed, etc., would come under the 
domain of the sixth house, but accidents generally are 
caused by Aspects of planets, one of which has on Ori- 
ental position in the chart. 

• * • 

The Dominant Planet, in a Chart 

Ques. — How do you judge which planet is most domi- 
nant in a chart? 

Ans. — The planet having the greatest number of 
dignities both essential and accidental would be most 
dominant.

Progressing the Chart 

Question: Which is the correct way to make a Pro- 
gressed Chart for 20 years of age? Some say add 20° 
to the radical Midheaven, and some say add 20 days 
after birth. I notice that these two ways often bring 
different degrees on house cusps. — F. C. 

Answer: One day equals one year, but one degree 
does not equal a year in Nature. Sideral Time is so 
gauged as to encompass a year of 365 days, but a zodiac 
of 360 degrees is 5 days short of the number of days 
to a year. To make a Progressed Chart count in the 
ephemeris the number of days after birthday to the 
number of years desired and with the sidereal time as 
given there make a chart in the usual manner and it 
will represent the conditions for coming 12 months.

Intercepted Sign and House Cusp 

In the case of an "intercepted sign" in a horoscope, 
is the lord of the intercepted sign, or the lord of the 
sign on the cusp, the ruler; of the house? — H. C. P. 

Ans. — The strongest part of a house is its cusp, and 
in the case of "interception" the planet ruling the sign 
on the cusp is given precedence. The planets ruling 
both signs are lords of the house, and in matters relat- 
ing to that house both planets must be considered. The 
planet ruling sign on cusp is given precedence, provided 
the other planet is not more "dignified" by its location 
in sign, house, "exaltation," aspect, etc.; for instance, 
the precedence might be reversed if ruler of cusp was 
"cadent" (in 3rd, 6th, 9tlij or 12th houses), and in its 
"detriment," while the planet ruling the intercepted sign 
was "exalted" and angular (in 1st, 10th, 7th or 4th 
houses). 

The "Dignities of Planets" are given in a table in 
"Practical Astrology for Everybody," and "interception" 
is considered under heading, "Signs and Houses."

Metals, Colors, Attributes 

Ques. — Will you kindly answer the following ques- 
tions? 

1. How do you know that Jupiter is the Ruler of the 
Zodiac sign Sagittarius, Mars of Aries, etc.? 

2. Can you give the name of the different metals 
that belong to each sign of the Zodiac? — May Ewing. 

Ans.: Thousands of years of observation, compari- 
son and record among Astrologers shows that there is 
a corresponding vibration, a harmonious condition ex- 
isting between the Zodiacal signs and the planets, 
hence, such planets are said to "rule" or be at "home," 
"exalted," or "detrimented" in the various signs, ac- 
cording to their nature. 

Metals associated with the Zodiacal Signs are as fol- 
lows: Aries, iron-steel. Taurus, copper. Gemini, 
quicksilver. Cancer, silver. Leo, gold. Virgo, quick- 
silver. Libra, copper. Scorpio, iron-steel. Sagittarius, 
tin. Capricorn, lead. Aquarius, aluminum and platin- 
um (notice how platinum jewelry has come into vogue 
since the advent of the Aquarian Age). Pisces, ruled 
by Neptune, god of the sea, is not known to have asso- 
ciation with any metal. 

As compared with the spectrum and the rainbow, 
planets are considered as associated with the colors as 
follows: Sun, orange. Venus, yellow. Moon, green. 
Jupiter, purple. Mars, red. Saturn, blue. Mercury, 
violet. 

The attributes endowed by the influence of the planets 
may be considered as follows: Sun, firmness, mag- 
nanimity. Moon, changeable, maternal. ' Mercury, in- 
quisitive, restless. Venus, gentle, amorous. Mars, 
martial, active. Jupiter, dignified, learned. Saturn, 
meditative, serious. Uranus, curious, inventive. Nep- 
tune, psychic, idealistic.

To Make Hair Grow Luxuriantly 

Quest.: — What is the best time to trim hair and 
nails to improve growth? — L. D. 

Ans.: — Generally speaking, any day between New 
and Full Moon is favorable which has no adverse 
aspects. And, considering the foregoing, should the 
Moon be in a Fruitful Sign such as Cancer, Scorpio 
or Pisces, the benefit is enhanced. Those who are 
bothered with ingrowing nails should be careful never 
to trim the nails during decrease (going down) of 
Moon, i. e., from Full to New, or in other words, dur- 
ing third and fourth quarter. 

* * • 

Difference Between Common Almanacs and Astrology 

Quest.: — Why is there from 1 to 3 days discrepancy 
between the Moon's Signs as given in Astrological 
works and common Almanacs. — Subscriber. 

Ans.: — Astronomers calculate the Moon's place not 
in the Zodiac but in the Constellations, which is a belt 
with the same names but is not coincident with the 
Zodiac, there being a difference of as much as sixty 
hours in advance. Almanacs usually give the Moon's 
place as per the Constellations, which are incorrect 
for planting or other Astrological purposes. 

If seed is planted when the Almanac says Moon in 
Cancer (a very fruitful Sign) it will not produce the 
expected results because the Moon in actuality is in 
the SIGN Leo (a very barren sign.) 

Many farmers, not knowing about this difference, 
who tried planting only by the common Almanacs, 
have given the attempt up in disgust. But if they 
had planted according to the Moon's Sign as given 



85 

Astrologically they would have met with the bene- 
ficial results that thousands of others have gained who 
used the moon's signs correctly.

Rules for Setting Hens 

Eggs should be set so that on the* 21st day they hatch 
when the moon is increasing and in a fruitful sign 
(cancer is best) ; the chicks will mature rapidly and be 
prolific layers; whereas, if hatched during decrease of 
moon or in a barren sign they will in no way prove so 
satisfactory. 

• • • 

Planting Flowers. 
Ques. — What sign is best to plant flowers' in? — O. A. 

Ans. — As the zodiacal sign Libra represents beauty 
in form and color, being also an "airy" sign, it is con- 
sidered the best for flowers. The seeds should be 
planted in the first quarter of the Moon, unless seeds 
from the plant are desired, in which case use the per- 
iod between second auarter and full Moon. 

• • • 

Planting Cotton 

Quest. — I am going to plant a lot of cotton; please tell 
me if it would be of benefit to plant it according to the 
Moon' Signs?— L. H. G., El Centro. 

Ans. — The Astrological rule is to plant everything 
that produces its yield ABOVE the ground during the 
"increase" of the Moon, when the Moon is in a "fruit- 
fur' sign. Between the 7th and 14th day after New 
Moon is best, but not on either the 7th or 14th day if it 
can be avoided. The "Planetary Daily Guide For All" 
gives all the planting rules, table of Moon's Phases, 



86 

and Moon's Place in Signs, and also tells exactly what 
dates and what thingsj to plant each day, for best re- 
sults by working consciously with the vibratory laws 
of Nature.

When Real Estate Prices Are High and Low. 

Quest. — In the December issue of the "Bulletina," 
1919, you mentioned that Saturn would be retrograde 
until May 7, 1920. Would it be best to wait until after 
that date to sell property or other things ruled by 
Saturn?— Miss C. M. B. 

Ans. — When a planet is retrograde the matters or 
things with which it has correspondence do not go for- 
ward with so much dispatch and profit as otherwise; 
hence, it is usually best to wait until such planet is 
favorably located. When Saturn was in Leo, a barren 
sign, we had a very dull realty market for two and one- 
half years, but when Saturn entered Virgo, an earthly 
sign, the market at once responded and it reached 
its best for top prices in 1921, as Jupiter draws near to 
Saturn in same sign. 

'Saturn is "exalted" in Libra so real estate markets 
should be good while Saturn transits that Sign, as it 
does in 1922-23. However, if one has good indica- 
tions for success in dealings in property in their 
natal chart, I would not say to wait, but rather take 
every opportunity to buy and sell, and by the time of 
top price one should have made a tidy sum for their ef- 
forts and have money to do still bigger things. One can 
do these things best if they understand how to make 
and read their own horoscopes and follow the recurring 
conditions as applied thereto.

When to Write Advertisements. 

Quest — When writing an advertisemtn should we 
hand it to the editor on a "good" day or have it pub- 
lished on a "good" day?— M. A. C. 

Ans. — An old Astrological aphorism is: "The better 
the day the better the deed." The important feature 
about an advertisement is the day that it is read. If 
I were handing an advertisement to an editor I would 
first look up the good days to Mercury and choose the 
ones on which there were no adverse aspects to Mars, 
Saturn or Uranus, and tell the editor to run the notice 
on those days. Those days could easily be picked from 
the "Planetary Daily Guide for all." The people who 
read the advertisement on those good dates and who 
acted upon their impulses to answer it would gain. 

Thus you would be helping the "other fellow" as well 
as yourself, your dealings would be amicable and sat- 
isfactory, tending to lessen that much of the discords 
in the business world caused by those who are con- 
stantly rushing into action without knowledge of the 
duly timed influence of Cosmic laws. 

Those who think "there is nothing in it" should try 
placing the advertisement so that it was read only on 
days marked adverse to Mercury, and on same days 
adverse also to either Mars. Saturn or Uranus. They 
would have plenty of occasion for regret or remorse 
on account of the delays, extra labor, expense, annoy- 
ance or loss that would be encountered.

When to Order Goods. 

Quest. — When ordering goods should we write out 
the order on a good day or mail it on a good day? 

— M. A. C. 



■^^r ^^ ^ ^^^^^^^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^^^ ^ ^^^^^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^^ 



Ans.— Do both, if possible. If written on a good day 
it is more apt to be correct than otherwise; being 
mailed on a good day it is more apt to arrive safely and 
be given good attention. 

* * * 

When to Organize. 

Quest. — What are the best days for organizing a 
church or beginning a meeting? — M. A. C. 

Ans. — Choose the "increase" of moon — that is, the 
period between New and Pull and a day marked good 
to Jupiter particularly, if orthodox; good to Saturn if 
Catholic; good to Uranus if New Thought. 

* • • 

"Dry Signs" for Painting, etc. 

Quest. — What are the "dry" signs? — L. A. 

Ans. — The fiery signs, Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius; 
especially Aries and Leo, are dry signs. As an example 
in using: If you paint your house or auto when the 
Moon is in a dry sign it will dry quicker than if Moon 
was in a moist or watery sign, such as Cancer, Scorpio, 
or Pisces. 

* • • 

Signs for Fishing. 

Quest. — What are the best signs for fishing? — Mable 
S. Andrews. 

Ans. — All creatures are most active about the time of 
Pull Moon. For fishing choose the days during Full of 
Moon when Moon is in Pisces, Scorpio or Cancer. 



89 

When to Quit a Habit. 

Quest. — When is the best time to quit smoking? — A. 

Ans. — During decease of Moon (when Luna is in 3rd 
or 4th quarter) while it is in a "fixed" sign. (Fixed 
signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius.) If you 
are familiar enough with your own horoscope choose 
the day as above stated when Moon is also in good 
aspect to the ruler of your 9th house (house of the 
higher mind) or is transiting through it. This rule 
would apply to any ill habit.

How to Destroy Noxious Growths. 

Quest. — Please tell me what to do. We have a grass 
called the "Johnson Grass" and it is taking all the 
farms in the low lands. When should this be cut, and 
others which are still worsg, one of which is called 
"Blue Weed" — nothing else will grow where it grows. 
I know there is a day in the summer when you can cut 
the bark around a tree and it will wilt in an hour. — W. 
H. L. Ward. 

Ans. — Plow the ground in 4th or last quarter of the 
Moon, when it is in a "barren" sign (Gemini, Leo or 
Virgo). In the "Planetary Daily Guide" are two tables; 
one shows the phases or quarters of the Moon; the 
other table shows what sign the Moon is in each day. 
For instance: Table on page 62 shows last quarter 
from 7th to 13th, August, 1920; the table on page 60 
shows Moon will be in Gemini on 9th and 10th of 
August; in Leo on 12th and 13th, of the year 1920. 

Just as there are certain DAYS on which the Moon 
may be in barren or fruitful signs, so are there months 
when the Sun is in such. From July 23rd to August 
22nd each year the Sun is in Leo (one of the "barren" 
signs) ; hence, a tree will soon wilt if barked, as stated, 



90 



during this month, when Moon is decreasing and also in 
a barren sign. To make the job still more effective do 
the cutting in "Planetary Hour" ruled by a malefic 
planet — especially that one which the Moon or Sun 
adversely "aspects" on that day.

Plowed Ground "Packing," or Not. 

Quest. — A farmer told me that ground plowed in the 
light of the Moon would "pack"; in dark of Moon, re- 
main "loose." How is this? — V. Van D. 

Ans. — Any project desired to be accomplished quickly 
and safely should be started during increase of Moon; 
that is, during first or second quarter; if possible, In 
such period, start when the Moon is in a movable sign 
(Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn), and also when 
reference to the "Planetary Daily Guide," or an ephe- 
meris, shows no adverse aspects to Mars, Saturn or 
Uranus on that day.

To Check Ridicule With a Look. 

Quest. — What planet gives the power to check ridi- 
cule by a look?— J. P. D. 

Ans. — Venus, the goddess of love, but very few use it 
Most people enjoy the punch of Mars!

Magnetizing a Crystal 

I want to magnetize a crystal. Please tell me at what 
hour of the day the Sun rules. — Wm. Dreier, Jr. 

Ans. — If I were to magnetize an object in an Hour 
ruled by the Sun, I would choose a day ruled by the 



44444444444444444 4 444444444444444444 4 4 

91 

Sun — Sunday. Reference to the "Improved Perpetual 
Planetary Hour Book" will show that in the first half of 
February on Sundays, the Sun rules from 7:01 to 7:53 
A. M.; 1:07 to 1:59 P. M.; from 7:53 to 8:51 P. 1YL; and 
again from 3:38 to 4:45 A. M., in Latitude 40. 

The first hour, 7:01 to 7:53, would be the best to 
choose, as the Sun is then on the Eastern Horizon, the 
point from which its vibrations are most powerful, 
Astrologically speaking.

Lucky Days 

Quest. — I was born at 6 p. m. in Nebraska; what was 
my "rising" sign? Have been told that Tuesday was 
my "lucky" day, but have not found it particularly so. 
— M. E. R. 

At>s. — As you do not give date of birth we cannot 
say what sign rises at 6 p. m. 

People sometimes think that the day of the week 
on which birth occurred will be a "lucky" day; or, 
the day of the week ruled by the planet which rules 
the sign of the zodiac in which they were born. But 
if one certain day is likely to be more "lucky" than 
another it will be that day ruled by the planet most 
fortunately configurated in the natal horoscope. The 
days of the week are named after planets, thus: Sun- 
day, Sun; Monday, Moon: Tuesday, Mars; Wednesday, 
Mercury; Thursday, Jupiter; Friday, Venus; Saturday, 
Saturn. As Uranus and Neptune are the octaves of 
Mercury and Venus, respectively, in such matters as 
this they are assigned Uranus to Wednesday, Neptune 
to Friday. In Astrology it is quickly seen that "lucky" 
days do not happen by chance— in fact there is no 
"chance"; there is well regulated, duly timed opera- 
tion of nature. Fruitful (lucky) days are the result of 
fruitful planetary aspects. Students can easily learn 



_ 92 

how to pick out, in advance, the days which will be 
most beneficient by examination of their natal chart 
compared with current (transit) movements of the 
planets. In the absence of a chart a great deal of 
information can be derived about the quality of days 
by reading the daily indications in the "Bulletina" mag- 
azine.

Planets and Prayer 

Quest. — To what planet should I pray to bo healed 
of a sickness? Subscriber A. O. S. 

Ans. — Do not pray to any planet. Pray to that 
which you know as God. But pray at an auspicious 
time, i. e., when the air is impregnated with har- 
monious influences for the matter desired. In thie 
case of a sickness first choose a day when the Moon 
is in conjunction or in sextile or trine with the planet 
that rules the part of body mainly affected and then 
choose the hour of that day for your prayerful medita- 
tion which is ruled by that same planet. For instance, 
if afflicted by some disarrangement of the action of the 
liver choose the days of good aspects to the planet 
Jupiter and on those days meditate, pray and auto-sug- 
gest in the planetary hours of Jupiter. If troubled 
with the knees, choose a day when the Moon is sex- 
tile or trine to Saturn. 

On days when such planet is adversely aspected by 
a square or opposition little or no headway can be 
made in the overcoming of the trouble and the stu- 
dent may feel well pleased if no ground from pre- 
vious effort is lost, but if any attempt is made at con- 
centration it should be in the hours ruled by benefic 
planets but not in the hour of the one afflicted. 

Another good way to treat through zodiacal influ- 
ence is to note each day the sign which the Moon 



93 

occupies and the part of the human body ruled by that 
Sign should be treated by auto-suggestion in the hours 
of the day ruled by the planet which rules the Sign 
that the Moon thus occupies. As the Moon transits 
through the twelve signs in one month every part of 
the body is treated in orderly succession. Prayer, 
meditation and suggeston are powerful factors when 
utilized at the proper times. 

To study parts of the body ruled by the twelve 
zodiacal signs and the planets the student will find 
almost any text-book of astrology useful.

Please tell us more about Uranus. — Subscriber. 
Uranus the Upheaver 

The terms "upheaver," "revolutionize?,"' "regen- 
erator," etc., have been applied to the planet Uranus 
because its influence is seen to cause such radical 
changes in whatever domain his influence manifests. 
In the horoscope of an individual where Uranus has a 
dominent position, such as in the Ascendant, it produces 
characteristic tendencies which mark that individual as 
being "out of the ordinary" in many respects; he may 
manifest the Uranian influence in various ways; may 
be given to invention, to investigation, being curious to 
know the so-called unknowable; will be ever trying to 
make improvements, to undo old methods and establish 
new conditions in whatever fields of endeavor he may 
be interested. 

The advanced Uranian individual will be more in- 
terested in the welfare of others tharu in himself; will 
turn his efforts so as to benefit the many, rather than 
a few close associations; thus his interests become 
cosmopolitan and humanitarian, while his methods of 
operation or achievement will be original and unique,

94 

going about the matter, not through some regularly 
organized or municipally conducted charitable associa- 
tion, but on broader and more independent lines. He 
will be found active in the meetings and teachings of 
the various Advanced Thought Movements and in many 
ways trying to further the comfort and progress of the 
masses. 

The Uranian individual who is not particularly ad- 
vanced, but who is living the more personal life will 
express the influence of Uranus in many minor ways; 
he will be often making little improvements about his 
place, will be quite "cranky" at times; often erratic, 
acting with surprising suddenness and seldom with ma- 
ture premediation; he will be intuitive and will act upon 
impulse; will have some extreme views; some strong- 
prejudices and attractions. 

The "National" influence of Uranus is equally as in- 
teresting for study as is its effects upon human ten- 
dencies, and in either case there is no end to the study 
— the* last word cannot be written. 

When Uranus, by its regular transit through the 
Zodiac enters a sign which rules a certain country, 
those who are observant readily discern its effects upon 
that country. For instance, during the seven years be- 
tween 1912 to 1919, inclusive, Uranus was transiting 
through the Zodiaical Sign Aquarius, the Sign which 
rules Russia and the coincident upheavals which have 
taken place are well known. 

Uranus next enters Pisces for a transit of seven 
years. ? 1920 to 1927. Pisces is said to be the Sign 
ruling Calabria, Galicia in Spain, Normandy, Nubia and 
Portugal. Pisces probably rules other countries not yet 
recorded Astrologically. The determination of Sign 
rulership 1 of countries and cities is, as yet, very incom- 
plete, a great deal of observation and investigation still 
being required. The cities coming under the influence 

mmmMM M M mm ^ M M f ^ f0400 4 f4004000000 000^000€ 



95 



of Pisces are thought to be: Bournemouth, Christ- 
church, Cowes, Farnham, Grimsby, Lancaster, King's 
Lynn, Preston, Southport, Alexandria, Compostella, 
Ratisbon, Regensburg, Seville, Worms. It will be no- 
ticed that these are all foreign places, all old estab- 
lished places. Our own country is comparatively young 
and our cities comparatively new, many of them 
"springing up over night," as it were, hence not afford- 
ing the opportunity for the loag periods of observation 
necessary to determine tHeir ruling Zodiacal Signs. 
But this will come in the course of time if Astrological 
Students everywhere will devote some attention to the 
matter and have it for discussion at their Society meet- 
ings.

Cities Are Influenced by the Signs 

Suppose that; the Sign ruling every city was known; 
suppose that some individual suffering severe afflictions 
was told to go away for their health; that person could 
be correctly advised to go to some place which was 
under the benign influence of Jupiter, whereas, other- 
wise, he might unfortunately go to a place under the 
influence of Mars or Saturn, and become worse off than 
before. 

Those who would like to make a study of town ruler- 
ship would do well to procure the little book by H. S. 
Green, entitled "Mundane or National Astrology," price 
75 cents, L. N. Fowler & Co., 7, Imperial Arcade, Lon- 
don, E. C, England, or it can be obtained from the Book 
Department of the Llewellyn College of Astrology. 

In one of the chapters devoted to this subject we find 
the following list, but we question a few of the assign- 
ments and believe they are open to further investiga- 
tion. For instance, Chicago is given under Leo, but we* 
believe it should be further investigated, as there is 
much to be said about its coming under the dominion of 



96 

the Sign Cancer. 

Again, the people of Wales do} not look or act like 
Gemini; they much more resemble Taurus. The beau- 
tiful city of Los Angeles resembles Leo or' Libra more 
than Virgo. Detroit, the home of that Great Aquarian, 
Henry Ford, probably comes under the influence of 
Aquarius; during the transit of Uranus in Aquarius 
Detroit became the recognized center of the automobile 
industry. (Between 1912 and 1919.) 

Portland, Oregon, is divided in two by the Willamette 
river: the east side for many blocks back from the river 
was swampy or boggy (now nicely filled) ; the location 
of many machine shops and lumber mills (ruled by Mars 
Mars rules Scorpio). The influence of Scorpio is seen 
on the West bank of the river also, extending along 
Front Street particularly, where we see the junk dealers 
and the machinery houses (ruled by Mars). 

The balance of the West side is evidently governed 
by Sagittarius, judging by the topography, as it raises 
steadily and becomes high hills, where the majority of 
the wealthiest people (Jupiter, ruler of Sagittarius) 
have located and built the finest residences. 

When Uranus transited through the sign Sagittarius, 
the old cable car up the "Heights'" was discarded and 
the electric (Uranus) system installed over a new route. 
Also, the work was planned and begun of sluicing off 
the top of Willamette Heights for the purpose of locat- 
ing Westover Terrace, the present site of the most 
magnificent homes (Jupiter). 

Some years ago when Mars was transiting the sign 
Scorpio, a huge water main on the East side burst and 
inundated a large portion of that district — a martian 
manifestation. Thus, when we refer to Portland's sign 
we need to designate the East side as Scorpio, and the 
West side (west of Front street) as Sagittarius. 



97 



The whole matter of sign rulership needs much dis- 
cussion and we shall be pleased to hear from all stu- 
dents who have made investigations along these lines 
and hear the results of their observations. 

The transit of Uranus through Pisces should furnish 
some interesting conditions for study along these lines.

COUNTRIES AND TOWNS RULED BY THE

Anent Sign-Rulership 

We are much interested in "sign rulership," so 
respond to your invitation in the February issue of the 
"Astrological Bulletina," 1920. We are satisfied that 
the Sacramento Valley is under the rule of the sign 
Leo, as the entrance of Neptune into this sign was 
coincident with the eruption of Mt. Lassen, which, by 
the way, is not dead, showing signs of activity just 
recently. We are also convinced that this city is under 
rule of same sign, for the following good reasons: 

Shortly after coming here, December of 1911, we made 
a careful inquiry among the members of the first town 
board, deciding from these interviews that sign Leo 
was Lincoln's Ascendent. The following list of events 
prove this to be correct: 



100 

June of 1917 Saturn entered sign Leo, a little over 
three months after the United States declared war upon 
Germany. Then came the "draft" and about all the 
young men eligible of this city and vicinity were 
"drafted." On July 29th, 1918, at 15 minutes to 5 A. 1VL, 
P. S. T., this city was next hard hit by the almost com- 
plete destruction of the Pottery Works of Gladding, 
McBean & Co.. the largest pottery on this coast. From 
this time on there was an exodus of laboring people and 
skilled artisans, this causing about 80 houses to be 
vacated All this being quite a blow temporarily to our 
business men, a decided Saturn depression. 

Shortly after the demise of my father Feb. 27th. 1919, 
we put out the following- prediction to the effect that 
beginning practically Aug. 1st, 1919, with Jupiter enter- 
ing the sign Leo, and running to August of 1920. with 
a possibility of the effect being felt for two years more, 
Lincoln would experience a GREAT BOOM Our 
prophesy is being fulfilled to the letter, as up to Aug. 
1st building was going on rapidly at the pottery, and 
with the completion, then, of the big steam terra-cotta 
presses, there began an increased demand for laborers. 
The pottery has contracts on hand now for building 
material covering three years in the future. We have 
just voted favorable on bonds for a new Town Hall, 
which is to include a theater, council chamber, dancing 
floor, etc. Are about to vote on bonds for a new Gram- 
mar School. Vacant houses mentioned all full and 
houses in great demand. But for the high cost of mate- 
rial a building boom would have taken place last fall. 

In all the above we are convinced of having presented 
an Al example of "sign rulership, "showing the method 
by which sign influence on cities, towns and localities 
can be recognized. — John Manson, Lincoln, California, 
January 30, 1920.

What Books To Study In Order To Learn To Correctly 
Cast And Read Horoscopes 

Our "Practical Astrology for Everybody'* is designed 
to teach how to properly erect a horoscope for birth 
time and how to "Progress" it for any year in life. 
Every chapter in the book is an easy lesson in practical 
Astrology and given in the order in which they should 
be studied. Our "Students' Chart Reader of Horoscope 
Indications" gives complete delineations of all the ele- 
ments found in the- horoscope. It is a companion book 
to "Practical Astrology; for Everybody." 

To cast your own horoscope follow the simple in- 
structions in the chapter headed "How to calculate 
Sidereal Time for a horoscope," which means how to 
change clock time into Sun time for A. M. and P. M. 
births. Then read the chapter "How to use a Table of 
Houses," which will show the locations of Zodiacal 
Signs for the latitude of your placel of birth. 

To cast a horoscope one needs an Ephemeris for the 
year of birth, which shows the places of the planets any 
day in that year. Price of ephemeris, American edition 
is 25 cents (these can be had only from 1860 to present 
year), or Raphael's Ephemeris, 50 cents for any year, 
from 1800 to date. 

A "Table of Houses" is required, the price of which 
is 50 cents. The American Tables are issued in three 
sections at 50 cents each. No. 1 contains Tables for 
Latitudes 25 to 36 degrees; No. 2 , Tables for 37 to 48 
degrees; No. 3, Tables or 49 to 60 degrees. Choose the 
one having the latitude of your place of birth. You may 
find such latitude in a map or Atlas of the Country.

When recording the birth of infants be sure to make 
a record of the time of day as accurately as possible, 
stating whether the time given is Standard or Daylight 
Saving Time. Enter the day, year and place of birth

EVERYBODY 

By Llewellyn George. 

"Practical Astrology for Every," one of our own 
publications, was chosen as the study book for class and 
individual work by the Portland branch of the Astro- 
logical Society, Inc., N. Y., the University at Krotona; 
the Theosophical Society Astro Class at Tulsa; Prog- 
ress Temple Class at Victoria and other leading Socie- 
ties, these classes have made marvelous strides in ac- 
quiring the philosophy of Astrology and in the making 
or casting of horoscopes. 

"Practical Astrology for Everybody" (a book for be- 
ginners) is highly recommended by authorities on this 
subject and by all students who have used it. In a 
clear, simple, concise and condensed manner it teaches 
how to correctly make a Nativity, and also a Prog- 
ressed horoscope. 

"Practical Astrology for Everybody" is essentially a 
beginner's book, and particularly adapted to the use 
of those who find it difficult, or have not the time, to 
study the more ponderous works on Astrology. After 
having assimilated the contents of this book the stu- 
dent should be able to comprehend any other work of 
like text. Price $1.00, Postpaid. 

THE STUDENT'S CHART READER 

of Horoscope Indications. 

"The Student's Chart Reader" is a splendid companion

ogy" teaches all about making a horoscope, and "Hor- 
oscope Indications" give all the readings in a horoscope.

tical Astrology For Everybody," because of the sim- 
plicity, accuracy and completeness of instruction in the 
two books.

Interpreter, which every student of Astrology should

the subject. 298 complete delineations. $1.00, Postpaid

THE MECHANICAL ASPECTARIAN 

The Mechanical Aspectarian is not a wall chart, al- 
though it can be used as such. It points out automati- 
cally or mechanically the aspects between planets in a 
Progressed chart, the aspects of plants in the Progressed 
chart to those of the Natal chart, or transit aspects to 
places in both Progressed and Natal horoscopes. 

It is valuable to students of Astrology because: 

It saves time in finding all aspects in Progressed 
chart; 

It saves time in recording transits through the Na- 
tivity; 

It saves time in recording transits through the Pro- 
gressed chart; 

It combines both horoscopes in the one chart; 

It saves mental labor and energy; 

It gets the aspect correctly and orderly; 

It insures your finding ALL the aspects. 

With ordinary ephemeris it keeps you in close touch 
with ALL that is transpiring in your horoscope, and 
as knowledge is power, you are therefore in better com- 
mand of the daily situations as brought about through 
aspects formed in your charts, by using the Mechanical 
Aspectarian. 

A complete, correct, concentrated, comprehensive, 
simple, convenient, durable new form of chart for use 
of students and those who already understand the ele- 
mentary rules of Astrology. Postpaid with instruc- 
tions, $1.

THE IMPROVED PERPETUAL 
PLANETARY HOUR BOOK 

FOURTH EDITJON 

CALCULATED AND DELINEATED ACCORDING TO 
THE SCIENCE OF ASTROLOGY 

By Llewellyn George 

Every hour of the day is ruled by a planet and the 
nature of any hour corresponds to the nature of the 
planet ruling it. If one possesses a PLANETARY 
HOUR BOOK they can choose a fortunate hour to com- 
mence important undertakings or such affairs as get- 
ting married, removing, journeying, going into new 
business, performing surgical operations, good hours 
for study, concentration, healing, taking medicine, 
psychical development, pleasure, laying a corner- 
stone, unveiling a monument, turning the first sod, 
driving the first spike, etc. 

Any affair worth doing at all is worth doing well; A 
PLANETARY HOUR BOOK will show the TIME when 
things started will turn out advantageously, according 
to Astrology, whereas, if one commenced an important 
affair and unconsciously chose an evil hour for the 
start, the results would be correspondingly unfortunate. 
In this little book there are no symbols to be learned 
nor any calculations to be made — simply reference to 
an ordinary table.

ANNOUNCEMENT 

The NEW IMPROVED PERPETUAL PLANETARY 
HOUR BOOK is a practical work, and those who are 
versed in the science and who have used a copy of it 
are unanimous in declaring it to be the most important 
work, relating to this subject. It presents in a concise 
and complete form a hitherto undeveloped phase of this 
science to the modern world, in a manner long desired. 

The NEW IMPROVED PERPETUAL PLANETARY 
HOUR BOOK shows at a glance which are the good and 
adverse hours in any and every day, perpetually, so 
that with it anyone can choose favorable times — and 
avoid unfavorable ones — in which to commence or trans- 
act important business or personal affairs, such as buy- 
ing, selling, exchanging, investing, traveling, starting 
new business, accepting or receiving propositons, writ- 
ing letters, signing contracts; in fact, all matters on 
which much depends, and thus assist in attaining 
greater and better results by having worked in CON- 
SCIOUS co-operation with natural law, according to 
the science of Astrology. 

The NEW IMPROVED PERPETUAL PLANETARY 
HOUR BOOK gives the key to a practical worKmg 
knowledge of the planets' nature as influencing us and 
the ever present now in daily life and business. 

This book is also valuable to the accomplished student 
or practitioner of Astrology who requires an accurate

CHOOSE AUSPICIOUS TIMES FOR ACTION TO 
RECEIVE BEST RETURNS FOR EFFORTS. 

The selection of an auspicious time for the com- 
mencement of any affair is an important matter and 
should be given due consideration. The ancients always 
paid special attention to the selection of a favor- 
able time for the beginning of the erection of any ed- 
ifice; many of these ancient structures are standing 
today and are a constant source of wonder and ad- 
miration to builders and architects of this date, who 
vainly strive to fathom the secret of the preservation of 
these old buildings. 

When the Astronomer Royal received a commission 
to build an obvervatory the first step he took was 
to choose an auspicious time. His forethought with 
that regard proves the value of selection for the Green- 
wich Observatory is now over 400 years old; it sup- 
plies official clock time to all England and to nearly 
all Europe: geographers, mariners and scientists the 
world over begin their calculations for Latitude and 
Longitude from Greenwich. 

When anything is once commenced its existence will 
be of a nature corresponding to the condition in which 
it was begun; that is a law of Nature regarding in- 
animate objects, or personal affairs. Begin things on a 
good day and in a fortunate hour and their existence 
will prove satisfactory and profitable; if they are be- 
gun on a bad day and in an hour ruled by a malefic 
planet, then they will prove very unsatisfactory and 
troublesome. 

We may be free to choose, but once having chosen 
the results are fated to be in keeping with the uni- 
versal vibrations active at the time of choice.

HOW PLANETS AFFECT PEOPLE 

By Llewellyn George 

A new book which tells in an interesting and instruc- 
tive manner just how the planets do affect people. Peo- 
ple often wonder how a planet which looks like a little 
speck in the sky, apparently millions of miles away, can 
have any influence upon human mind and destiny. 

This book gives the philosophy of planetary vibrations 
and tells why one person is affected at one time — while 
their brother or wife or some one else is not; why one 
person may be inclined in certain directions and an- 
other in opposite or different directions. How planetary 
vibrations affect the mind and how the mind can react. 
How life and destiny can be improved. 

A book full of idea-producing chapters, all written in 
a clear and concise manner so that the reader will have 
a better understanding of natural phenomena and of the 
causes which underlie feelings, tendencies, moods, 
thoughts, acts, fate and destiny, and be inspired to 
improve the life by the added knowledge — "Knowledge 
is Power." 

Price of "How Planets Affect People, $1.00, postpaid.
